## Summary

NHS Grampian procured a Philips Glissando scanner, classified as medical imaging equipment (CPV 33110000), for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The purchase supports diagnostic scanning within the NHS Grampian service and requires compatibility with software already used by NHS Grampian and NHS Lothian. Philips Electronics UK Limited supplied the equipment. This is a single-item goods requirement rather than a service, construction or broader technology programme. Businesses relevant to this requirement are manufacturers, authorised suppliers or specialist medical-equipment providers able to supply Philips Glissando scanning equipment and support its integration into an existing NHS imaging-software environment in Aberdeen.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS Grampian used a limited procedure: a direct award without prior publication of a competition notice, with a waiver justified by technical reasons and the need to maintain compatibility with existing software. The single lot was evaluated on price and received one bid. Philips Electronics UK Limited was selected for the lot at an awarded contract value of £97,600. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and is active. The recorded procurement category is goods, and the delivery location is Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The award was made to Philips as the sole supplier for the specified scanner requirement.

This award shows a defined NHS requirement for specialist diagnostic imaging equipment where interoperability with established software is decisive. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in medical imaging systems, a lawful route to supply the specified scanner or an equivalent compatible solution, and evidence that installation will work within NHS Grampian and NHS Lothian’s existing technical environment. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable equipment delivery to a major hospital, integration planning, commissioning and appropriate technical support. The single direct award and sole bid indicate that manufacturer access, product compatibility and the ability to address technical-compatibility constraints are likely to matter more than general equipment supply alone.
