Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is seeking to procure a Linear Accelerator for the Hospital for Small Animals at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Midlothian, Scotland. The procurement, classified under the education industry category, is at the award stage as of 17 August 2018, with a contract value of £2,012,044. This limited procurement process, conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, aimed to upgrade an existing veterinary radiation therapy system and was justified based on the technical specifics of the required equipment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced medical equipment for veterinary applications, particularly those involved in radiation therapy technologies.

Notice Title

Linear Accelerator, HfSA

Notice Description

See Annex D1

Lot Information

Lot 1

Under Regulation Reg 33(1)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, a contracting authority may use the negotiated procedure without the prior publication in the case of a public contract, based on the following justification: Competition is absent for technical reasons (only if it is not caused by artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists);

Procurement Information

Upgrade to an existing veterinary radiation therapy system. The replacement linear accelerator should be equipped for dynamic Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy with photon beams (of energy 6 and 10 MV) and a range of electron energies (between 6 and 20 MeV) for Electron Radiotherapy. No requirement for very high dose rates associated with stereotactic treatments. For veterinary radiotherapy with electron beams dose rates of the order of 1000 MU per minute are preferred and, to minimise patient motion artefacts, photon dose rates in excess of 500 MU/minute are preferred. Electron applicators supplied should operate with a skin-applicator gap of a few centimetres to allow for patient fur etc. i.e. not in apposition to the skin.
