## Summary

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the supply of Impella Smart Assist Heart Pumps, with the procurement process recently concluded on 17 January 2025. This procurement falls under the 'Artificial parts of the heart' category within the healthcare industry and is located in the region of UKC22 (North East England). The tender stage is completed, and the contracted supplier is Abiomed, LTD., a small-to-medium enterprise based in Richmond, Surrey. The procurement was conducted via a limited method without prior publication due to the unique capabilities of the Impella technology, and the contract was signed on 19 December 2024 with a total value of £222,250.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced medical devices and healthcare innovations. Given that the Impella pumps are unique in their function of unloading the heart while providing both coronary and end organ perfusion, suppliers in the field of miniaturised ventricular assist devices stand to benefit. Companies capable of providing cutting-edge medical technology, particularly those with expertise in less invasive cardiovascular solutions, would find this procurement highly relevant and a potential avenue for business growth. The inclusion of these devices into the NHSSC VAD framework by mid-2025 opens further opportunities for long-term partnership and market expansion in the medical sector.
