No-engagement rationaleNot published
Procedure rationaleVarian Health Systems have been the supplier of the RISOH system since it was implemented in 2013. Due to the complexity of the system, there are no other providers who could provide this system within the time frame. Replacing the system or support contract would lead to a risk to patient safety.​ The system is due to be replaced by the end of this Contract. We wish to reply on schedule 5 section 5 (a) due to Varian having the intellectual property rights. They are the only supplier able to provide the services.
