Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services, acting as the contracting authority, is conducting a procurement process on behalf of multiple Health Boards in Wales, including Velindre University NHS Trust. The tender, titled "Thermometry," is focused on the procurement of medical thermometers and accessories, categorised under the industry of medical goods. The procurement process is in the tender stage, initiated on 21 October 2024 with a closing date for submissions on 20 November 2024. The location of delivery is specified within the UK region, and the procurement will follow an open procedure. The contract will not feature renewals and will have a duration of 1440 days, highlighting future opportunities for business engagement.

This tender offers promising opportunities for businesses specialising in medical goods, particularly those with expertise in thermometers. As the procurement is structured in multiple lots, including tympanic, multi-purpose, oral, and disposable thermometers, suppliers can bid on one or more items according to their manufacturing capabilities. Given the large contract value of £2,944,014, suppliers can look forward to significant business growth if successful. Companies focused on innovation and efficient production lines for thermometer-related accessories would stand well-suited to compete, and there is a requirement for electronic catalogues. This opportunity allows suppliers, including small and medium-sized enterprises, to target a key segment of medical devices needed by the NHS across Wales.
