## Summary

The procurement process for the "Robotic Bronchoscopy System" is being conducted by NHS Golden Jubilee, a public body in Clydebank, United Kingdom (region UKM81). This process is targeted within the industry category of medical equipments, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, with an emphasis on acquiring a robotic-assisted surgical system along with its necessary maintenance and consumables. The procurement method used is limited, specifically an award procedure without the prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the directive. This tender has moved through the stages from tender to award, and the contract, worth £4,961,505, was signed with Intuitive Surgical Limited on 21st February 2025. The system is critical as it meets unique surgical requirements and is the sole medical robot that satisfies these essential technical specifications, supporting complex minimally invasive surgeries across multiple fields.

This tender showcases significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of high-tech medical equipment and related services. Although the contract has been awarded to Intuitive Surgical Limited due to the specificity of the technical requirements, businesses specialising in similar cutting-edge technologies or complimentary services can gain invaluable insight into the market demands and gaps for innovation. Furthermore, the procurement underscores the critical role that interdisciplinary medical technologies play in enhancing healthcare delivery, which might encourage other suppliers to augment their offerings towards such niche markets. Companies that can offer competitive, technologically advanced solutions in surgical systems, particularly those capable of innovation and adaptation to niche medical needs, would be well-suited to explore further opportunities in this sector.

## Notice
