Summary of the contracting process

The Lothian Health Board, acting as the buying organisation, is seeking to procure two new linear accelerators (Linacs) for the Edinburgh Cancer Centre as part of the Scottish Government's Radiotherapy Capital Equipment Replacement Programme. The contract, under procurement method "Open procedure" with the main category being "goods", is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 11:00 on 9 June 2026. The procurement is divided into two lots with an estimated total value of £5,700,000. The successful bidders will be responsible for the delivery and installation of the equipment at the Western General Hospital, Edinburgh. This open tender encourages electronic submissions and offers significant opportunities, given the two-year contract period.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those with expertise in radiotherapy technologies. Companies with the capability to supply, install, and support advanced Linac technology stand to benefit from competing for either or both lots. The procurement requires that bidders have a minimum annual turnover of £5.7 million, and hold adequate liability insurance. Experience in providing CE/UKCA marked products and a commitment to quality management as per ISO 9001 standards are essential. This represents a significant opportunity for businesses looking to establish or expand their presence within NHS contracts, potentially fostering further health-sector collaborations and innovative solutions delivery in the region.
