## Summary

The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the purchase of the AAA Netspot - 40 microgram kit for Radio-Pharmaceutical preparation, classified under the industry category of reagents and contrast media (CPV Code: 33696000). The contract was awarded on 23rd May 2019 and is valued at £400,000. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, allowing for the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice. The contract period spans from 1st June 2019 to 31st May 2021, with the tender period concluding on 13th May 2019. Deliveries are expected at locations within London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical and diagnostic equipment, particularly those involved in the supply of radio-pharmaceuticals. The exclusive sourcing from Imaging Equipment Ltd suggests that local suppliers capable of meeting the specific requirements for radioactive agents may have competitive advantages. Companies equipped to handle the unique demands of the NHS procurement process and that are focused on innovative medical solutions would be particularly well-placed to pursue similar contracts, helping to enhance their growth prospects in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Foundation Trust had to purchase Netspot (gallium Ga 68 dotatate) which is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for use with positron emission tomography (PET) for localization of somatostatin receptor positive neuroendocrine tumours. Netspot (gallium Ga-68 dotatate) is a somatostatin analogue which demonstrates excellent uptake and in vivo stability rapid, tissue penetration, binding and clearance are observed and as a result the speed and resolution of picture acquisition is improved and the patient receives a much lower radiation dose. Use of Ga-68 generator also enable production of Ga-68 PSMA on-site allowing flexibility of service and negates reliance on outsourced companies for delivery radiopharmaceuticlals. As the vial is multidose the Trust currently has a high throughput of patients who are prescribed this scan, failure to order in the quantities required results increased waiting lists and delays to the service. This product is licensed in USA but unlicensed in UK. It can only be sourced in the UK from Imaging Equipment Ltd. There is no other available treatment as effective available on the NHS - Ga-68 dotatate scan can be used in PET imaging. PET imaging provides greater resolution and speed of imaging and therefore diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumours.
