## Summary

University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust procured a Cision Invision gross examination system, together with Cision Enlight and ongoing maintenance. This is a medical equipment supply and maintenance requirement. The stated rationale is that Cision Invision is the only equipment of its kind available from a supplier in the market. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is stated.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to AnatoPath Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, on the stated basis that the equipment has a sole supplier. The award date was 6 October 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract period runs from 10 October 2026 to 31 July 2036. The contract value is £48,500 excluding VAT and £58,200 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the equipment, Cision Enlight and maintenance. The recorded information gives no competitive evaluation basis; the decision rested on the stated sole-supplier position.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from University Hospitals Dorset, this award indicates demand for a specific gross examination system integrated with Cision Enlight, plus maintenance over a long-term contract. The key commercial barrier is product availability: the Trust stated that Cision Invision had only one supplier in the market, so a credible competitor would need to offer the required system or a demonstrably acceptable alternative, with the associated software and maintenance capability. Suppliers would also need to support the equipment over an extended service period and deliver within the United Kingdom. This purchase was made without competition because of the sole-supplier position; the award therefore points to product uniqueness and lifecycle support, rather than a broadly competitive equipment specification, as central to the buyer’s decision.
