If a company is being used outside of the NHS sc then there are much wider implications too. For example fake goods, goods built to a poor standard, illegally sourced products, even down to things like spare parts purchased invalidating warranties etc. it even gets to a point that foreign states or agents wanting to cause mischief within the UK could see this as an open door to do so.
The risk involved in not having a validated supply chain is massive.

Or likely in this case a "rolls royce" level item that offers better outcomes for patients (on which consultants are measured) vs a cheaper product with less good outcomes. Doesn't mean it is right, but not surprising in this non-joined up system.
