## Summary

NHS Grampian has initiated a public procurement process for the "Touch Surgery System," targeting the health industry, specifically medical software and hardware, aimed at assisting in surgical training for medical students. The process is being conducted in Aberdeen, at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, under the industry category of health with the procurement stage marked as "Award" and "Contract." The procurement method was limited, meaning the award was made without prior publication of a call for competition due to the unique capabilities provided by the existing supplier, Medtronic Limited. The contract was signed on 28th July 2025, with a value of £88,582.65, and involves an extension of the current licensing arrangement.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for business growth for companies that already possess products or services uniquely tailored or highly specialised in the medical training domain. Firms with an existing footprint in medical technology, especially those capable of delivering bespoke or technically sophisticated products, may find similar tenders highly suitable. Although this particular contract was not open for competitive bids, it highlights the potential for businesses, particularly those offering innovative health technology solutions, to engage in future NHS contracts where specific technical or supply conditions exist.

Direct award to Medtronic whose system is already in place, this is purely for additional licences.
