## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for the acquisition of Corpuls C3 Hyperbaric patient monitoring systems, specifically targeting the defence and security industry. The procurement involves two hyperbaric monitors along with maintenance and telemedicine services over five years. The contract, valued at £140,750 excluding VAT, has been directly awarded to Ortus Technology Limited, based in Sudbury. This decision is aligned with the Defence Security special regime, primarily due to technical necessity and lack of viable alternatives. The location of the procurement is in the United Kingdom, with operations extending to military sites in Chichester and Glasgow, and the contract commences on the 17th of April 2026 through to 31st March 2031.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced medical technology and equipment compatible with military applications. The direct award to Ortus Technology Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, underscores the potential for businesses with niche expertise to secure long-term contracts, particularly in defence sectors where technical compatibility is critical. Companies well-versed in high-risk environments, requiring precise technical solutions, are ideally positioned to compete in similar tenders, creating avenues to fortify partnerships with government bodies and expand their technological footprint across defence operations. This is particularly relevant for enterprises capable of meeting robust security and operational standards, as highlighted by procurement rationale based on interoperability and safety concerns with NATO allies.

### Procurement Information

There is a requirement to contract for the purchasing of 2 new Corplus 3 Hyperbaric Monitors, associated maintenance and 4 additional years of Telemedicine for each monitor through Missionlive. The Royal Navy, part of the UK Ministry of Defence ("the Authority"), intends to award a 5-year contract to Ortus Technology Limited (d/b/a Ortus Group) who are able to fulfil the requirement. The estimated value of the contract is PS140,750 excluding VAT (PS168,900 including VAT). In accordance with the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 ("PA 2023"), a Direct Award is justified under section 41 PA 23, under the following applicable grounds: (1) Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 PA 23 which states:- "The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract-- (a)due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b)there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works." (2) Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 PA 23, which states:- The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where-- (a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. These justifications apply because Ortus Technology Limited (. d/b/a Ortus Group) are the only manufacturer able to provide specialist hyperbaric rated medical equipment and maintenance that will be compatible with existing military hyperbaric systems held by the Royal Navy. If different monitors were purchased elsewhere, there would be interoperability issues across partner NATO allies involved with Submarine Escape and Rescue who also use the same monitors. A change in supplier would therefore result in the MOD receiving goods and services which are incompatible with the existing military hyperbaric systems at St Richards Hospital, Chichester and NSRS in Glasgow. This incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance with the Institute of Naval Medicine being unable to use any equipment in a hyperbaric chamber to monitor patients. Additionally, if the MoD endorsed the use of non-hyperbaric monitors against manufacturer's recommendations, this would result in a significant explosion risk from the use of electronic equipment in a pressurised, oxygen-rich environment and a lack of evidence that any monitoring will be accurate at increased atmospheric pressures.
