## Summary

The NHS Golden Jubilee is seeking to procure percutaneous catheter delivered heart pumps, with a focus on the category of goods classified under the CPV code 33184300, which refers to artificial parts of the heart. This procurement process is currently in the award stage and is part of a limited procurement method, meaning that there has been no prior publication of a call for competition. The organisation intends to contract with Abiomed Ltd., the only provider capable of meeting their technical requirements, given the unique nature of the equipment required. The contract, valued at £127,500, was signed on 22nd February 2021.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the medical equipment and healthcare solutions sector, especially those specialising in cardiovascular devices and technology. Companies that can provide unique, high-quality medical equipment and consumables related to heart support systems would be particularly well-suited to compete in this niche, albeit restricted, procurement process. The lack of competition, due to the technical constraints, underscores the significance of this contract for the selected supplier.

## Notice

The Golden Jubilee National Hospital intend to purchase 8 percutaneous catheter delivered heart pumps per annum, together with associated hardware consumables, for haemodynamic support in the setting of acute and chronic heart failure as a bridge to transplantation.

### Procurement Information

The National Waiting Times Centre Board intends to enter into a contract with Abiomed being the only option meeting our requirement. In accordance with our interpretation of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 the services can only be provided by the particular provider for technical reasons and competition is therefore absent for technical reasons due to the unique essential requirements of the equipment required, namely Abiomed is currently the only manufacturer of commercially available percutaneous catheter delivered heart pumps.
