Notice Title

Maintenance and Consumables for Cobas Analyser

Notice Description

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership who are hosted by Velindre NHS Trust acting on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board wish to inform the market that they intend to award a contract for the provision of Maintenance and Consumables for Weqas' Roche Cobas 6000 (Cobas c 501 and Cobas e 601) analysers.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Weqas is one of the largest External Quality Assessment providers in the UK, with over 50 years of experience in delivering global Quality Assurance Programmes in Laboratory Medicine. The contract will include; - provision of consumables for Roche Cobas 6000 (Cobas c 501 and Cobas e 601). It should be noted that it is anticipated that some consumable will be upgraded to newer versions during the life of the contract; the old versions of such consumables are expected to be seamlessly swapped out for the new versions at no extra cost. - Maintenance as an annual fully comprehensive service - Training days for up to 5 Weqas staff on the use of the Cobas 6000.

Procurement Information

In 2017, Weqas undertook a procurement to purchase a General Chemistry analyser, consumables and maintenance which was awarded to Roche for the Cobas 6000 analyser. Weqas require a new contract for maintenance and consumables for the next two to three years until such time that the analyser will no longer be operational. Due to the analyser requiring specialist knowledge to maintain and repair, training required for new staff by Roche on their equipment as well as ensuring Roche parts are available and cost effective, the Health Board is issuing this notice applying a 10 day standstill period prior to award of a two year contract with a one year extension option.
