## Summary

NHS Grampian procured a Philips Glissando medical imaging scanner for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The requirement is for medical imaging equipment used in a healthcare setting, specifically a Philips scanner rather than a general imaging system. Delivery and use are centred on Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Aberdeen. The procurement was led by NHS Grampian, a public healthcare organisation. The stated purpose was to obtain equipment compatible with existing software used by NHS Grampian and NHS Lothian. This makes the requirement relevant to suppliers of medical imaging equipment, Philips equipment and associated hospital technology, particularly businesses able to support integration with established NHS software environments. The purchase is a goods requirement rather than a construction, consultancy or managed service contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Philips Electronics UK Limited. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 for £97,600. The buyer used a limited procedure without publishing a call for competition, relying on a technical waiver because the scanner could only be purchased from Philips to maintain compatibility with existing NHS Grampian and NHS Lothian software. The stated award criterion was price. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was not from an SME. The awarded supplier is a large UK company. The contract is active. The procurement record describes one requirement, and the award relates to the direct purchase of the Philips Glissando Scanner for the Aberdeen site.

This procurement shows demand from NHS Grampian for specialist medical imaging equipment that integrates with existing NHS software. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in supplying and supporting hospital imaging systems, with particular attention to interoperability, configuration and compatibility with established clinical technology. Experience working with NHS environments and understanding the operational requirements of large healthcare organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement also shows that product-specific technical compatibility can determine the procurement route and supplier eligibility: Philips was selected because the scanner had to work with software already used by NHS Grampian and NHS Lothian. Suppliers offering alternative imaging systems would therefore need to address equivalent compatibility requirements convincingly.
