## Summary

The procurement process for the Roche Vantage digital pathology workflow system has been completed by the Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The tender falls under the medical software package industry category, with procurement involving a direct award to ensure compliance with regional systems and LIMS design requirements. The contract, valued at £212,991, commenced on 18th March 2026 and concludes on 17th March 2033, ensuring the integration of necessary safety and connectivity features. Located in Liverpool, this procurement aimed to leverage limited competition below the threshold, as alternatives failed to meet the stringent compliance and connectivity requirements. The key dates include the signing of the contract on 17th March 2026 and its publication on 15th April 2026.

This procurement provides opportunities for businesses specialising in providing sophisticated medical software solutions with validated integration capabilities. Suppliers that can offer unique connectivity and compliance features will find such tenders rewarding, particularly if they align with the needs of healthcare organisations like NHS trusts. Large enterprises or those with the capability to satisfy specialised technical requirements could excel in meeting the needs outlined in similar sensitive and critical healthcare procurement processes. This competitive landscape can foster innovation and partnership in delivering advanced biomedical and pathology solutions, crucial for modern healthcare infrastructure.

## Notice

Procurement of Roche Vantage digital pathology workflow system. Roche Vantage is the only platform compatible with the Network's standardised systems and required regional LIMS design. Only Roche can provide the validated interfaces and native integration needed. Alternatives were discounted due to lack of connectivity, safety features, and compliance risks. A framework extension was not possible within the funding deadline, so a compliant direct award was necessary to ensure timely procurement.
