## Summary

NHS Grampian initiated a procurement process for the purchase of a Somatom X.cite CT scanner under a call-off framework, specifically designed for use at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. This procurement falls within the health industry category and is being conducted in the UK, under an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Siemens on 14 December 2021, with a total value of £600,000. The procurement process has now reached the award stage, having completed earlier phases.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in healthcare technology and medical equipment manufacturing. Businesses that can provide advanced imaging technology and associated services are encouraged to participate. Given that Siemens was awarded the contract, other suppliers with innovative solutions in multi-modality imaging, compliance with technical and safety standards, and strong support services may find similar prospects in future procurement opportunities from NHS Grampian and other health authorities. This is an excellent chance for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector to establish valuable connections and secure profitable contracts.
