Summary of the contracting process

NHS Grampian procured an ICCA service contract for Philips hardware and software at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. ICCA is used within the hospital’s critical care units, where continuity of service and patient safety are central to the requirement. The contract covers services associated with the existing Philips equipment and software, including servicing and support needed to keep that system operating. NHS Grampian is the buying organisation, and delivery is at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Aberdeen. The procurement is a health-sector service requirement rather than a purchase of standalone equipment or general IT support. It is specifically tied to Philips technology and the continued operation of ICCA in critical care.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, on the basis that Philips holds exclusive rights and is the only possible supplier for the required hardware and software service contract. The single lot was awarded to Philips Electronics UK Limited. One bid was recorded, and the lot was evaluated on price. The contract value is £274,235.60. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The data does not state an end date or duration. The direct award rationale was continuity of service and patient safety within Aberdeen Royal Infirmary’s critical care units.

This opportunity indicates a highly specialised requirement for suppliers able to support Philips ICCA hardware and software in a critical-care hospital environment. The successful supplier was Philips Electronics UK Limited, and the procurement rationale cites exclusive rights and the need for manufacturer continuity. A credible competitor for a future requirement would therefore need lawful access to the relevant Philips technology, the technical capability to maintain and support the installed system, and a service model suited to critical-care operations. It would also need to demonstrate that support can preserve system continuity and protect patient safety, with personnel and processes capable of working in a clinical environment. General IT support or unrelated medical-equipment servicing would not address this specific requirement.
