## Summary

Velindre University NHS Trust has completed a direct procurement process for the "Software upgrade to SPECT CT" needed for the Velindre Cancer Centre's upcoming move. The upgrade is aimed at enhancing the existing GE Healthcare SPECT/CT scanner to improve image quality, reliability, and performance while extending the equipment's operational life by about a decade. This procurement process is categorised within the services industry, specifically involving IT services such as consulting, software development, and support, and it falls under Welsh devolved regulations. The official notice was published on 5th August 2026, and the scheduled future signature date is set for 14th August 2026. The contract, awarded to GE Healthcare Limited, is set to commence on 1st March 2028 and end by 29th August 2029, highlighting its long-term impact on the facility's service capabilities.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses involved in IT services related to consulting, software development, and support. Although the procurement was conducted directly without open competition, similar upgrade projects may provide future possibilities for businesses specialising in healthcare technology solutions. Companies experienced in integrating advanced imaging technology into existing medical equipment will find themselves well-suited to meet such specifications. Furthermore, as the contract has a substantial duration, there is potential for further collaborations or extended maintenance services post-implementation.

## Notice

This project is to upgrade the existing GE Healthcare SPECT/CT scanner at Velindre Cancer Centre as part of its move to the new Velindre Cancer Centre. The upgrade will improve image quality, reliability, and performance, while extending the life of the equipment by around 10 years. Using the existing system is more cost-effective than replacing it and will help ensure the continued delivery of high-quality diagnostic imaging services.
