## Summary

This procurement process involves NHS Grampian as the buying organisation, located in Aberdeen, and concerns the acquisition of Heart & Lung Machines. The industry category for this procurement falls under Health. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 19 January 2026. The procurement method utilised was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The rationale for this method was that only Livanova UK Ltd, the existing supplier, could meet the clinical and operational requirements as favoured by clinicians. Delivery is set to take place at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities for specialised suppliers of medical devices. Large and experienced businesses that can demonstrate technical superiority and competitive pricing in providing complex medical machinery would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Due to the technical nature of the supplies, organisations capable of innovating and maintaining high clinical standards are more likely to succeed in securing such contracts, especially in a public health context where technical performance and cost-effectiveness are critical. This procurement highlights the importance of maintaining strong clinical networks and expertise to meet stringent healthcare demands.

## Notice

Heart and Lung machines

### Procurement Information

The contract can lawfully be awarded without prior publication because trials carried out with both the existing supplier and a competitor demonstrated that only the current supplier's system meets the clinical and operational requirements. Clinicians favoured the existing system on technical and performance grounds, and its cost and pricing were more advantageous than the alternative.
