## Summary

The Royal Marsden NHS Trust is seeking a maintenance service for its Nuclear Medicine Hermes equipment through a limited procurement process. This contract, valued at £163,140, was awarded on 19th January 2021 and is set to run until 31st December 2025. The procurement follows the specific requirements for software that integrates with the Trust's existing systems, particularly as it begins a new service for Lung VQ. The tender period ended on 18th January 2021, and the contract is classified under the IT services category.

This procurement presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in bespoke healthcare IT solutions, particularly those with expertise in software compatibility and maintenance for medical equipment. Given that Hermes Medical Solutions Ltd is currently the sole supplier capable of fulfilling this requirement, businesses that can innovate or offer alternative technologies may find a niche in continuing to support the Royal Marsden NHS Trust, especially as they expand their services in Nuclear Medicine.

## Notice

The Royal Marsden NHS Trust requires a local maintenance service for specialist Nuclear Medicine reporting software, which must be compatible with Trust's existing Hermes hardware. Furthermore, the Trust is starting a new service for Lung VQ that requires re-projection of the acquisition through a specific lung quantification, which is believed to be exclusive to Hermes' service. In addition, the trust has used the current software for patients under clinical trials, and therefore, needs the same applications to be utilized to ensure continuity and reproducibility of results. Hence, the current integration between Hermes and RIS is fundamental for the service efficacy. The value of this contract is above the OJEU limit. However, Hermes is the only supplier in the market who can offer this service, thus, no tender process was completed and a VEAT notice was issued.
