This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically related to Rubidium, and is based in London, UK, with the postal code NW1 2PG. A market engagement meeting is scheduled for 30 June 2021, from 10:00 to 16:00, providing potential suppliers an opportunity to gain insights into the requirements, as well as to discuss the procurement process. Interested suppliers are required to express their interest by 17:00 on 25 June 2021, with the anticipated contract start date in September 2021. The projected annual contract value ranges between £400,000 and £500,000, contributing to an estimated total of £1.2 million to £1.5 million over a potential 3-year lifecycle. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those offering innovative solutions for Rubidium generators and delivery systems.

Participation in the market engagement meeting will allow these businesses to gain clarity on expectations and align their proposals with UCLH's needs, potentially leading to a successful partnership and long-term business growth in the healthcare sector. ## Notice University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust ("UCLH") intention is to tender for the supply of Strontium-82/Rubidium-82 generators, a Rubidium 82 delivery system and consumables to support the cardiac PET service provided at UCLH. The current UCLH's workload for Rubidium PET imaging is approximately 1650 patients (1650 x 2 elutions) per year, and we expect a 5% annual increase on this figure over the three years.
