Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian is procuring replacement radiotherapy technology for the Aberdeen Cancer Centre at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Aberdeen. The requirement covers one treatment planning system, one oncology information management system and one radiotherapy archive integrated within the OMS. It is a goods contract, including supply, installation and associated services on a turnkey basis. The equipment is being replaced because it has reached the end of its recommended working life, under the Scottish Government’s Radiotherapy Capital Equipment Replacement Programme. The successful supplier will provide all products and services as a single prime contractor, taking responsibility for any subcontracting or collaborative arrangements needed to deliver the requirement. The procurement is a single lot and includes the related implementation work at the hospital site.

The process has reached tender: NHS Grampian invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 17 August 2026 at 11:00 UTC. The contract is for 720 days, covering the 24-month duration through to the end of the warranty period. Its estimated value is £1,215,000 excluding any applicable tax. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. The award assessment gives 50% to the NHS requirement and quality, and 30% to cost; the published criteria account for the remaining assessment through the tender requirements. There is one lot, variants are not permitted, and the award period begins at the submission deadline.

This opportunity suits suppliers of radiotherapy information and treatment-planning technology that can deliver a complete hospital installation rather than equipment alone. Bidders need relevant experience and examples of delivering comparable supplies and services, with products that meet the NHS requirement and carry CE or UKCA marking supported by notified-body certification. A prime contractor must have the capacity to manage the full solution, site implementation, warranty obligations and any subcontractors or partners. Quality capability is important: suppliers need UKAS or equivalent independent certification to ISO 9001, or comprehensive documented quality policies, procedures, training, monitoring and complaints controls. Suitable bidders must also demonstrate strong financial standing, appropriate employer, public and product liability insurance, and the ability to support community benefits and Fair Work First requirements in Scotland.
