Why this procedure was chosen
The goods/services are an extension or partial replacement of existing provision: The additional console is required to: 1. Meet increased demand 2. Maintain service continuity during hospital refurbishment Changing supplier would result in incompatibility or technical difficulty: 1. Replacement of existing console infrastructure 2. The Cryomatic system is embedded within established ophthalmic clinical pathways at Sussex Eye Hospital. Following recent refurbishment and the planned increase in patients, a second machine is needed to ensure capacity to meet the grwoing demands. 3. The current clinical pathway has been designed specifically around the functionality and performance of the existing Rayner Cryomatic system. Introducing alternative equipment at this stage could mean changes to clinical processes, retraining of staff.
