What the notice says

The Christie Proton Beam Therapy service will be looking to replace its Pre-treatment CT scanner and MR scanner in the next few years. As a national service, we would like to invite manufacturers to pre procurement discussions to help the Trust formulate a specification and see what current technology is available. This would involve presentations and discussions around current systems and possible future systems that fit our timeline.
