## Summary

The procurement process involves Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, located on Hills Rd in Cambridge, United Kingdom. This tender is titled "Procurement of two digital pathology scanners" and falls under the goods category, specifically relating to scanners. The procurement was executed via a direct award method, as part of an ongoing effort to enhance the foundation's digital pathology capabilities. This contract, awarded to Philips Electronics UK Limited, includes the supply, installation, commissioning, and clinical support of two SG300 digital pathology scanners. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the contract period set to commence on 1st October 2025 and conclude on 30th September 2026. The milestone for the future signature date is scheduled for 25th September 2025. The gross contract value is £499,998, with the standstill period ending on 19th September 2025.

This procurement provides growth opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of medical imaging equipment, especially those with established capabilities in digital pathology solutions. Large-scale companies like Philips Electronics UK Limited are well-suited due to their experience, existing infrastructure for support, and compatibility with digital pathology software systems, such as the ones integrated with Epic systems, used by healthcare providers. The tender's direct award nature and specific compatibility requirements underline the trust's interest in efficient integration with their current systems, highlighting a market opportunity for suppliers who can ensure seamless interoperability and support in high-value, tech-driven healthcare operations.

## Notice

Supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing clinical support of two SG300 digital pathology scanners.

### Procurement Information

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust intends to purchase two SG300 digital pathology scanners from Philips Electronics UK Ltd as an addition equipment supplied under the Digital Pathology Solution contract awarded to Philips on 11 July 2022. The scanners will supplement our existing digital pathology equipment and are fully compatible with the image management software (IMS) provided by Philips. Purchasing scanners from another supplier would require the Trust to purchase another IMS and interface it with the Trust's EPR system (Epic), thereby potentially creating two different systems for digital pathology which would be untenable and unproductive.
