## Summary

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as NHS National Services Scotland, is conducting a procurement process for the purchase of radiotherapy equipment, specifically two linear accelerators for Highland Health Board and Tayside Health Board. The tender is currently in the Award stage, having been formally completed on 6th February 2020. The equipment will be delivered to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness and Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, as part of the Scottish Government's Radiotherapy Capital Equipment Replacement Programme. This open procurement process involved a contract value of over £5 million GBP, with the intention of awarding a single contractor to manage the turnkey project.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment supply and installation, particularly those with experience in sophisticated radiotherapy technology. SMEs that can demonstrate compliance with NHS requirements and possess the necessary certifications, alongside a proven track record in similar projects, are well-positioned to compete. Potential bidders should be able to manage the complexities of delivering technical services and ensure they meet quality standards set by the contracting authority.

## Notice

Radiotherapy equipment installed at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, and the Tayside Cancer Centre, Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, (the "TCC"), would reach the end of its recommended life-expectancy and was due for replacement under the Scottish Government's Radiotherapy Capital Equipment Replacement Programme (CERP). This NHS Requirement included the provision for the purchase of the following Products: 2 x Linear Accelerators comprising: 1 x multi (photon/electron) modality at Raigmore Hospital, and 1 x multi (photon/electron) modality at the TCC. The implementation of the Products would be undertaken by the Contractor on a "turnkey" basis. It was intended that an award would be made to one successful Contractor who would act in the role of Prime Contractor for supply of all Products and associated services to the Boards. This meant that the successful Contractor should assume full responsibility for supply of all Products and associated services.
