## Summary

The procurement process, titled "Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)," is being conducted by NHS Golden Jubilee, located in Clydebank, UK. This procurement falls under the health industry category and has reached the Award stage, with the contract being signed on 29 September 2021. The buyer intends to procure one OPTIS Integrated Next Imaging System and one Mobile Next Imaging System, with a total contract value of £160,000. The procurement method used is limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, owing to the unique technical requirements of the equipment.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced medical imaging technology, particularly those that can provide equipment meeting the specific standards set by NHS Golden Jubilee. Given that Abbott Medical U.K. Ltd was awarded the contract due to being the sole supplier able to meet these requirements, companies that offer similar innovative medical solutions, especially those involved in optical coherence tomography and related technologies, would be well-suited to engage in future tenders in this sector. Collaborating with buyers in the health industry could provide pathways for growth and expansion in an increasingly competitive market.

## Notice

Golden Jubilee National Hospital intend to purchase 1 x OPTIS Integrated Next Imaging System and 1 x Mobile Next Imaging System. These are medical imaging methodology using a specially designed catheter with a miniaturized optical probe attached to the distal end of the catheter. The proximal end of the catheter is attached to computerized equipment.

### Lot Information
