## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has finalized a contract award for the upgrade and maintenance of the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment High End (CAREN HE) system. The contract, valued at GBP 496,925, was signed on 21st March 2025. This procurement falls under the category of goods, specifically a medical software package, and involves the provision of upgrade, partial replacement, maintenance, servicing, warranty, and repair services. The location of delivery is the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Stanford Hall Estate, Loughborough. The procurement method used was a limited, negotiated process without the publication of a contract notice, citing the absence of competition for technical reasons as stipulated by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in medical software, rehabilitation technology, and associated maintenance services. Companies with expertise in 3D virtual reality environments, motion capture systems, and advanced medical simulation technology are particularly well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. The contract was awarded to BRIGHTEDGE LIMITED T/A Summit Medical and Scientific, indicating that companies capable of providing specialized and technically advanced solutions in medical software and rehabilitation systems can benefit greatly. This procurement highlights the importance of niche technical expertise and the ability to meet specific and stringent requirements in the medical rehabilitation sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Authority has placed a contract with Summit Medical and Scientific (as exclusive UK distributor for Motek Medical BV) for the upgrade, partial replacement, maintenance and associated repair of the Authority's Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) to provide a 3D Virtual Reality environment utilising control software, a motion capture system, an instrumented treadmill mounted on a motion platform, a projection and a sound system in a 360 degree dome for a fully immersive experience.

Options: The Authority may, at its sole discretion, extend the term of this Contract by a further period of up to 24 months

### Procurement Information

This procurement falls to be regulated under the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as amended (in particular by SI 2020/1319). Prior publication of a contract notice in the Official Journal of the European Union is no longer appropriate. It is considered that the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice in the UK e-notification service (as required by the relevant legislation) is lawful in accordance with regulation 32(b)(ii) and 32(5)(b) of the PCR 2015 because competition is absent both for technical reasons and for reasons relating to the additional supply of goods. The Authority considers that Motek Medical BV (through its UK distributor) is the only company in the world that can meet the Authority's specified and reasonable technical upgrade requirements of providing the 3D Virtual Reality environment. In addition the upgrade, integration and subsequent maintenance requirements require access to specific know-how, tools and information which only MOTEK (through its UK distributor) has at its disposal to ensure specific interoperability requirements which must be fulfilled to ensure the continued functioning of the existing CAREN system. In addition, where this upgrade requires a partial replacement of existing goods a change of supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance of the existing supplies or installation.
