National Services Scotland (NSS) acting through its division Procurement, Facilities and Commissioning (PCF) is undertaking this procurement on behalf of both Lothian Health Board (the "Board") and Grampian Health Board (the "Board") (and together the "Boards").
It is intended that an award will be made of a single lot for each Board to one successful Contractor who will act in the role of Prime Contractor for supply of all Products and associated services to each individual Board, including installation on a “turnkey basis”. This means that the successful Contractor shall assume full responsibility for supply of all Products and associated services. The successful Contractor shall be solely responsible for effecting any sub-contracting or collaborative arrangements required with other suppliers to allow the successful Contractor to meet this commitment.
Grampian Health Board (the “Board”) provides a comprehensive radiotherapy service based at the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (“ARI”). The Board wishes to procure one Medical Linear Accelerator (“Linac”) for the delivery of radiotherapy treatments, in order to replace an existing linac.
Lothian Health Board have a requirement for the supply and installation of a 6MV radiotherapy treatment machine together with all associated equipment supplied therewith (“the Product”). The Product will be operated by the Board in the Edinburgh Cancer Centre (ECC) at Western General Hospital (WGH).
Both Linacs are being procured under the NHS Scotland Capital Equipment Replacement Programme (CERP).
