## Summary

The public procurement process for the "ExoVasc Custom Made External Aortic Root Support" was conducted by The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located at Freeman Hospital, Freeman Road, High Heaton, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, United Kingdom. This tender, classified under the cardiovascular devices category, involved the supply of custom-made external aortic root supports, specifically for Aortic/Ross Pears, within the goods procurement category. The process was completed with a direct award procedure and was outside the typical scope due to the unique nature of the product and the lack of alternative suppliers, as Exstent Limited is the sole provider. The contract, valued at £225,000, was signed on 18 December 2024, with the buying organisation operating in the region of UKC22.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the specialised medical device sector, particularly those capable of supplying bespoke cardiovascular solutions. As the process was conducted without prior competition, only suppliers with exclusive products like Exstent Limited were eligible. This suggests a valuable market for suppliers with unique devices or those considering entering similar high-demand niches, as they could gain positioning within public health segments that require custom solutions without alternatives. Firms with expertise in researching and developing unique medical products, especially those focusing on cardiovascular devices, are well-suited to engage and grow through similar tenders.
