## Summary

The Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for a Stereotactic navigation system to Cascination AG. The procurement process under the award stage was conducted as a limited negotiated procedure without publication of a contract notice. The system is for imaging equipment used in medical, dental, and veterinary applications.

This tender provides a business opportunity for suppliers in the medical imaging equipment industry. Companies specialising in the development and supply of advanced medical navigation systems would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process for the Stereotactic navigation system involved specific technical requirements, chosen by the Trust based on the system's proven safety and clinical benefits, supported by extensive scientific research and practical application.

## Notice

Stereotactic navigation system with relevant accessories to facilitate planning, conduction, and validation of CT-guided percutaneous ablations.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The purchase of a Decision Support and Guidance System for Percutaneous Ablations. This is a single system complete with relevant accessories to facilitate planning, conduction, and validation of CT-guided percutaneous ablations by providing the following capabilities: - Software assisted ablation treatment planning: Tumour targets and surrounding safety margins can be identified and visualized in CT and /or MRI images, applicator trajectories can be planned in 2D and 3D, and desired ablation volumes can be simulated. - Navigation based applicator placement: Applicators (ablation needles) can be safely and accurately placed to the target location with respect to the previously defined trajectory. - Software assisted verification of applicator position: By fusing pre- and peri-operative images, the effective applicator position (in-situ) can be measured and subsequently verified relative to the planned trajectory. If required, treatment and ablation parameters can be adjusted to the actual situation. - Software assisted validation of treatment: Fusion of pre- and postoperative CT images allows for validation of the effective ablation volume relative to the originally planned volume and assists in the decision making towards immediate re-treatment. The system must provide the following essential functionalities: - Import, display and processing of CT and MRI images - Fusion of CT and MRI images to enable treatment of invisible lesions - Trajectory planning for single and multiple applicators - Software assisted treatment planning including o Automatic identification of tumour volume o User assisted selection of safety margin o Database with performance parameters of applicators used in clinic o Simulation of expected ablation volumes as function of time and energy - Guided applicator alignment and insertion using a semi-robotic arm - Automatic assessment of effective applicator position relative to plan, - Update of treatment plan - Automatic assessment of effective ablation volume relative to treatment plan

### Procurement Information

The Trust believes that only this particular system from Cascination AG (CAS-One IR system) contains all essential functionalities. Moreover, only this system has proven technical safety and clinical benefits for performing percutaneous tumour ablations based on a significant number of scientific publications (>30) and in more than 600 patients.
