— Supply of Proton Beam Therapy Equipment, — Supply of Proton Beam Therapy Services, — Installation of Proton Beam Therapy Equipment, and — Maintenance of Proton Beam Therapy Equipment. The Christie NHS Foundation Trust (The Christie) and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (UCLH) (individually and together referred to as the ‘Authority’) are planning to develop a National Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) Service treating up to 1 500 patients per annum over 2 sites with around 300 of these patients as Paediatric. This is in-line with the Government Policy, Improving Outcomes and A Strategy for Cancer (2011). This Procurement seeks to secure for the Authority, Equipment and Services for PBT. It is intended for the National PBT service to be developed on the 2 sites to: — Ensure that all patients, for whom evidence supports PBT as the most clinically effective treatment, receive treatment within a clinically appropriate service specification and to nationally agreed standards; — Ensure that services provided enable the continued development of the technologies involved and that workforce and training issues are appropriately addressed; and — Deliver improved outcomes by ensuring that patients have access to high quality modern radiotherapy techniques, comparable to those used in other European countries, to improve outcomes and improve patients' experience by minimising any long-term side effects of treatment. Bidders were invited to propose Equipment and Services to deliver Proton Beam Therapy. Although specific details may have varied between the UCLH and Christie sites, Bidders needed to provide solutions that facilitate common treatment protocols for Proton Beam Therapy across both sites and a common infrastructure for technical support. Following are the high level needs for the UK proton beam therapy Equipment and Services: The aim is to deliver a National Proton Therapy Service able to cover the DH Indication List, with a highly complex case mix of paediatric and adult tumours, on 2 sites — UCLH FT in London and the Christie NHS FT in Manchester. To that end, although specific details may vary across sites, Bidders needed to provide functionally equivalent systems on the 2 sites. The following are mandatory requirements: — It shall be safe for patients, staff and the general public and shall be highly reliable, — It shall deliver proton radiotherapy for the prescribed DH Indication List with improved dose distributions compared to photon radiotherapy, — It is a legal requirement that all Equipment supplied must have received CE Marking prior to patient treatment, — The Equipment must be compatible with UK radiation protection, health and safety and other relevant legal requirements and standards, — The centre should provide value for money as assessed by total lifetime costs, — Each facility must contain at least 3 treatment rooms. In addition both UCLH and The Christie would like to explore a flexible 4 th room for research and possible clinical expansion provided it can be shown that the operation of a 4 th room will in no way detriment the clinical delivery of PBT in the other 3 rooms. The Authority intends to deliver Proton Beam Therapy using only spot scanning including IMPT.
