## Summary

The NHS Golden Jubilee is proceeding with a procurement process to acquire Endobronchial valves (referred to as "Zephyr") for use in their Lung (Thoracic) surgery department. This tender initiative targets approximately 75 patients over two years, with a total contract value of £446,250. The procurement stage is currently in the Award phase, and the awarded contract will be executed with Pulmonx International Sarl, the sole supplier identified as capable of meeting the unique technical requirements of the valves.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the medical supplies sector, particularly those specialising in innovative medical devices related to respiratory care.
