II.2.4)
Description of the procurement:
NHS National Services Scotland (NSS) have commissioned the implementation of gallium-68 PET/CT imaging services in 4 Health Boards across Scotland: Lothian; Grampian; Tayside and Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC). Gallium-68 (Ga68) is now the gold standard for the detection and localisation of neuroendocrine tumours (somatostatin receptor imaging) and is an emerging prospect for improved prostate cancer imaging.
The location of the Ga68 manufacturing and dispensing service in each Health Board will differ, depending on local requirements, however each Health Board will be required to dispense Ga68 radiopharmaceuticals in an appropriately shielded clean air device, such as an isolator, hot cell or biological safety cabinet that meets the requirements of a Grade A environment, as stipulated in the European Commission’s Guidance for Good Manufacturing Practice (EU GMP), Annex 1.
Gallium-68 for use in the preparation of Ga68-radiopharmaceuticals can be generated from a Ga68 generator or a cyclotron, with each Health Board having a preference for how they will generate Ga68 to provide the service to their patients.
NHS Scotland has commissioned the procurement of PET isolators for the dispensing of Ga68-radiopharmaceuticals in up to 4 centres across Scotland. The isolator must provide sufficient radiation protection to ensure the radiation dose to operators is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP), while providing a sterile environment to protect the patient against microbial contamination in their dose.
This procurement exercise is to procure two (2) isolators, suitable for handling Ga68, and other PET isotopes, which will be located, one (1) each, within Lothian Heath Board (at Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Edinburgh) and Tayside Health Board (at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee).

The Authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made) applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the contract agreement which notification will contain among other information, a summary of the reasons why the economic operators was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a “standstill period” of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the Authority dispatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant contract agreement. The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the contract agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the contract agreement has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the contract agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.
