Summary of the contracting process

NHS Golden Jubilee, located in Clydebank, UK, is planning to procure a robotic-assisted surgical system for their Golden Jubilee National Hospital. This procurement falls under the goods category and has reached the contract award stage. The contract, valued at £4,961,505, was signed on 21st February 2025. The contract was awarded to Intuitive Surgical Limited, identified as the only supplier capable of meeting the hospital's unique needs. The procurement process was limited, following an award procedure without prior publication due to the specialised nature of the required equipment.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in advanced medical technologies, particularly those specialising in robotic surgical systems. While the current contract has been awarded to Intuitive Surgical, companies that can offer innovative, high-tech medical solutions may find similar opportunities with NHS entities in the future. Large-scale medical device manufacturers with capabilities in producing sophisticated surgical systems and related maintenance and consumables would be well-suited to compete in such procurements. This project highlights the growing demand for advanced healthcare technologies and the potential for business growth in this sector.

Due to the above functionality the system seamlessly translates the surgeons hand, wrist and finger movements of the master controls into precise real time movements of the wristed instrument that are designed with seven degrees of motion - a range of motions even greater than the human wrist, The vision is equipped with a high definition 3D endoscope and image processing equipment that provides to true to life images of the patients anatomy. A view of the operating field is available to the entire operating room team on a large viewing monitor. The wide angled screen provides the surgical assistant at the patients side with a broad perspective and visualisation of the procedure whilst the surgeon operates seated at a console with the master controls viewing a high definition 3D image inside the patients body.
