Lot details

Lot 1

Ru-106 eye applicators are ophthalmic brachytherapy plaques used primarily for treating uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, and other ocular tumors. They consist of a thin film of Ru-106 beta-emitting isotope, encapsulated in pure silver sheets, with a total thickness of only 1 mm, making them easy to handle and position on the eye surface. The beta radiation has a limited range, allowing high doses to tumors up to 5 mm in thickness while sparing sensitive structures like the optic disc and fovea. Additional information: Approximately six (6) Ru-106 Eye Applicators required to be purchased and returned per year, this contract will cover a 36 month period

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 33. The category anchor is Radiotherapy devices and supplies (33151000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Procurement method rationaleIn order to award this contract compliantly, NHSGGC will follow Regulation 33 (b) where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator for any of the following reasons (ii) competition is absent for technical reasons. The contract will support the continued provision of specialist brachytherapy services and ensure the ongoing availability of clinically approved applicators required for patient treatment. The estimated contract value is 200,000 GBP excluding VAT over a period of 3 years. The proposed award is being made without prior competition as the required products can only be supplied by the named contractor and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists.
