## Summary

The NHS Golden Jubilee is undertaking a procurement process for the acquisition of two Needle Arthroscopy systems with disposable instruments, aimed at enhancing outpatient arthroscopic procedures. This contract, titled "Needle Arthroscopy with Disposable Instruments," is classified under the health industry category and is located in Clydebank, UK.

The contract was awarded on 22nd October 2020, with a total value of £181,840 expected over a period of three years.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment, particularly those offering innovative surgical systems and single-use instruments.
