two.2.4) Description of the procurement

The National Waiting Times Centre Board intends to enter into a contract with Intuitive Surgical as being the only option meeting our

requirement. In accordance with our interpretation of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 the services can only be provided by the

particular provider for technical reasons and competition is therefore absent for technical reasons due to the unique essential requirements

of the equipment require, namely Intuitive Surgical is currently the only manufacturer of commercially available robotic-assisted surgical

systems offering robotic four-arm multi-port technology anda suite of fully wristed 8mm instrumentation, wristed advanced energy and

stapling instruments, flourescence imaging, integrated table motion and skills simulation, on a single platform, capable of performing

minimally invasive surgical procedures.

Due to the above functionality the system seamlessly translates the surgeons hand, wrist and finger movements of the master controls into

precise real time movements of the wristed instrument that are designed with seven degrees of motion - a range of motions even greater

than the human wrist, The vision is equipped with a high definition 3D endoscope and image processing equipment that provides to true to

life images of the patients anatomy. A view of the operating field is available to the entire operating room team on a large viewing monitor.

The wide angled screen provides the surgical assistant at the patients side with a broad perspective and visualisation of the procedure whilst

the surgeon operates seated at a console with the master controls viewing a high definition 3D image inside the patients body.

The Intuitive Surgical Da Vinci Systems remains the most ubiquitous robot designed to facilitate complex minimally invasive surgery

across multiple specialities and multiple body compartments. The Intuitive Surgical Robot Da Vinci has been the subject of in excess of

7000 peer review publications and studies with a wealth of regulatory approvals covering a wide spectrum of surgical procedures much

greater than alternatives with lesser functionality available on the market. No other commercially available surgical robot facilitates

multidisciplinary applications planned for the Golden Jubilee National Hospital
