Buyer: The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust
Country: UK
Contract type: Supplies
Procedure: Contract award without prior publication
CPV classification: 33100000
Estimated value: 170000 GBP

Technical requirements: The Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Foundation Trust needs to purchase Trinity MR/US fusion prostate biopsy system. This machine is central to delivering the RAPID programme. The Trust currently undertakes TRUS biopsies in the outpatient setting. TRUS biopsies are associated with a high level of sepsis (as the bx is taken via the rectum and not the perineum) therefore the Trust has to move to transperineal biospies to prevent this.
1) Organ based tracking — tracks the shifting prostate and automatically compensates for these movements using solely the images and without any additional sensors therefore maximising the accuracy of the procedure and reducing the number of core biopsies needed to be undertaken by 1/3rd.
2) Free-hand biopsy capability — low cost disposable guides are available to facilitate this process.
3) Elastic fusion — the MRI scans are superimposed then automatically adjusted to better correspond to the contours of the ultrasound images in real time.
4) Koelis system facilitates biopsy in left lateral position (patient is lying on their side) as opposed to lithotomy position. The system can operates in such position even for the transperineal approach under local anesthesia. This makes the procedure more comfortable tolerable and the patient moves less. There is also pressure point protection (minimising chance of neuropraxia), which increases the speed of biopsy meaning more can be done during a session this significantly increases efficiency.
5) Highly portable system which doesn’t require recalibrating when moved. This means a single integrated device which can be moved between hospital sites to maximise use of the equipment.
6) Koelis technology allows to perform virtual biopsy which provides to the clinician the ability to plan and check with high precision the needle positioning before actually performing the biopsy/intervention.
7) The second Look feature can recall a previous prostate 3D-mapping and fuse it to the live session as a plan to target unexplored area or previous positive biopsies. This is of paramount importance for the management of active surveillance patients, as well as an entry point to focal therapy planning.

Technical requirements: The successful contractor’s performance on this contract will be managed as per the specification and regularly monitored (see Procurement Guidance Note 01/12 — contract management — procedures and principles).

If this occurs and their performance still does not improve to satisfactory levels within the specified period, it may be regarded as an act of grave professional misconduct and they may be issued with a notice of unsatisfactory performance and this contract may be terminated. A central register of such notices for supplies and services contracts will be maintained and published on the CPD website. Any contractor in receipt of a notice of unsatisfactory performance will be required to declare this in future tender submissions for a period of 3 years from the date of issue of the notice.
