Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, acting on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board, has completed a procurement process for maintenance support of Heart and Lung By-Pass and ATS Machines. The contract, valued at £340,000, is classified under repair and maintenance services for medical equipment and was awarded to LivaNova UK Ltd. This limited procurement method, which did not involve prior publication of a call for competition, is part of the health board's strategy to ensure the efficient operation of essential medical equipment. The contract duration is for two years, with a potential one-year extension, and a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period was observed before awarding the contract, which was formalised on 19 March 2021.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the maintenance and repair of medical equipment, particularly those with expertise in servicing complex devices like heart and lung machines. Companies that have a proven track record in the healthcare sector and can demonstrate their capabilities in ensuring patient safety through specialist support will be well-placed to compete in similar future tenders. Engaging with the NHS and similar entities could yield fruitful relationships, given the ongoing need for reliable maintenance services to support ageing medical technologies across the public health system.

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board wish to inform the market that they intend to award a contract for Maintenance Support for Heart and Lung By-Pass and ATS Machines for two years with the option to extend for a further one year period.

Procurement Information

The Health Board currently own a fleet of Heart and Lung and ATS equipment which are now over 6 to 7 years old. The Health Board requires specialist maintenance support for this equipment to ensure the equipment is operating at peak efficiency as the Heart and Lung devices for example pumps and oxygenates the blood during open heart surgery. Therefore, specialist support is required to ensure and protect patient safety and Livanova are the only company that can provide this specialist maintenance support and repair requirement. The contract will be for two years with an option to extend for a further one year in anticipation of a replacement programme of this equipment after 10 years of life expectancy. In addition, there are a small number of consumables which currently sit on an All Wales contract which expires at the end of 2021 and are the only compatible products available for this equipment. The Health Board, therefore, reserves the right to include these consumables if required at any point of the contract and an estimated value has been included in the overall contract total which may never be fully utilised. Based on the specialist maintenance support required, the Health Board is applying a 10 day standstill period prior to awarding this contract.
