## Summary

NHS Grampian has awarded a contract for an Embryoscope for the Aberdeen Centre for Reproductive Medicine. The procurement method was limited, utilising an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 11th June 2024 for a value of £71,250. The main procurement category was goods, and the procurement rationale was due to the specific technical requirements necessitating a direct award to Vitrolife Group.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for suppliers in the health industry, specifically those providing medical equipment and services related to reproductive medicine. Businesses with expertise in supplying specialised laboratory equipment or involved in reproductive health technologies would be well-suited to compete. As the awarded contract was for a specific technical requirement, suppliers offering unique solutions in medical equipment may find similar direct award opportunities in the future.
