LumenEye X1 Endoscopes and Consumables

This highly specialist equipment and its related consumables are vital to enable the continuation of this service and reduce admissions to the Endoscopy unit. This approach has drastically reduced Trust costs in this area, improved patient pathway times and helped the Trust to meet national targets, something only this equipment and supplier can provide. The risks of this provision not being put in place are reduced patient pathway times, higher costs for the Trust (due to patients having to be seen in Acute settings rather than the Outpatients department or a Community setting) and a failure to meet national targets. A change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works.
