## Summary

The University of Edinburgh has awarded a contract for consultancy services to develop an implementation plan for a robotic bronchoscopy platform project. The project falls under the Education category and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement method used was a limited process without prior publication, with a focus on developing a regulatory-approved medical device.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses experienced in endoluminal robotics and medical device development to participate in this service procurement opportunity. The University of Edinburgh, as the buying organization, aims to translate a research prototype into a regulatory-approved medical device, offering potential for firms with expertise in this area to contribute to the project's success.

## Notice

Consultancy services to develop an implementation plan for the translation of a robotic research prototype to ISO13485 regulatory approved medical device status.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

These consultancy services are to develop an implementation plan for the translation of a robotic research prototype to ISO13485 regulatory approved medical device status; and to ascertain the costs and resources required to support this. A longer term and much larger delivery project will be the subject of a separate tendering exercise should this pilot proposal prove viable.

### Procurement Information

The proposed robotic bronchoscopy work is directly related to congruent prior work by the service provider, targeting the same clinical need (lung diagnostics), and the knowledge sharing across these projects cannot be matched by other firms. The proposed robotic work includes similar regulated medical device development quality considerations and regulatory route to market and would initially be developed under the existing QMS (Quality Management System). The service provider has unrivalled experience working on endoluminal robotics.
