Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, sought the supply of "Faecal Management Systems". The main procurement category was goods, specifically targeting the medical equipment industry. The tender involved the provision of faecal management systems and compatible collection bags, set to be delivered across Health Boards and Trusts within NHS Wales, primarily in the region denoted as UKL. The process started with an open procurement method, aimed at allowing broad competition. The contract, initially signed on 22nd November 2021, for a period extending from 1st December 2021 to 30th November 2025, had recently been extended by 12 months due to unforeseen circumstances and ongoing demands, with the amendment announced on 6th October 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the medical equipment sector, particularly those specialising in innovative and reliable medical supplies. With an active contract involving significant monetary value, currently amounting to £216,898.75, suppliers providing high-quality faecal management systems and related products, such as collection bags, can secure long-term partnerships with NHS Wales. Businesses already familiar with public healthcare procurement processes, especially those capable of meeting the competitive criteria and handling large-scale supply operations, would be well-poised to benefit from such opportunities. As the contract extension creates a window for further competition, it entices various suppliers, including SMEs, to engage in the process and potentially enhance their growth trajectories.
