Lot Information

Lot 1

Scotland has a population of 5.3 million who are served by five Cancer Centres, which amongst them use 27 linear accelerators to deliver in excess of 200,000 fractions of treatment per annum. Each Cancer Centre has at least one Treatment Planning System (TPS) that is used to model patient treatments. In order to provide efficient and effective delivery of radiotherapy services throughout Scotland, NHS Tayside's (NHST) TPS was due to be replaced under the Scottish Government's Radiotherapy Capital Equipment Replacement Programme (CERP). The TPS must remain up to date to enable modelling of the increasingly complex and rapidly developing radiotherapy techniques required to deliver optimal treatment for patients. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) techniques such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), are considered the standard of care for the majority of treatment sites, with an increasing body of evidence supporting the benefit for patients. It was thus a requirement that equipment supplied is compatible with NHS Scotland's intention to make available intensity modulated radiotherapy to all patients who might benefit. Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) is a technological development that enables the accuracy of patient positioning on the treatment couch to be confirmed, thereby increasing the probability of tumour control and reducing dosage to surrounding normal tissues. It was a requirement that all equipment tendered be compatible with NHS Scotland's intention to make image guidance, including tracking tumour motion, available to all patients who might benefit.
