## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process titled "Precision Study - The Procurement of Catheters." This initiative, under the category of medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, focuses on the delivery of catheters within Cardiff, UK. As part of an international, multi-centre Phase II study named PRECISION, the process involves the direct procurement of goods without competition, targeting the enhancement of stereotactic body radiation therapy efficiency for prostate cancer treatment. The contract period commenced on 26 January 2026 and is set to conclude on 28 February 2026, with the award being finalised to Micropos Medical, a supplier based in Sweden, responsible for the delivery of Raypilot Catheter packs.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in medical equipment and technological solutions for healthcare. Suppliers with expertise in innovative radiation therapy equipment, especially those capable of incorporating advanced image guidance systems, would find this contract advantageous. The opportunity for supplying catheters to support precision cancer treatments presents potential long-term partnerships within the NHS framework. Businesses equipped to provide high-standard medical equipment and keen on contributing to pioneering healthcare initiatives would be well-suited to engage in similar procurement processes.

## Notice

Through a business case submission funding was approved through Advancing Radiotherapy Cymru (ARC) Board to enable recruitment to the Precision Study for an anticipated term of 48 months. The aim of this business case is to offer opportunity for our patients to have access to a quality international study. Velindre Cancer Centre would be the second centre to open in the UK. PRECISION is an international, multi-centre Phase II study sponsored by NHS Lothian and led by the Edinburgh Cancer Centre. The study is designed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for treating men with NCCN low or intermediate risk prostate cancer. It specifically focuses on delivering 3 fractions of SBRT, using the Raypilot system in combination with Hypocath image guidance to enhance precision. It is intended that Micropos Medical AB will provide the Raypilot System as a rental loan offer to the Trust from Financial Year 2024/5 Quarter 4, until 31 March 2026. The rental loan offer is for one Raypilot system. 30 Raypilot Catheter packs that are unique to the Raypilot system need to be purchased in order to perform the study. Each pack must include one Viewcath Catheter and one Hypocath Catheter.
