The tender titled "All Wales Spinal Implants & Consumables" is underway in the tender stage and focuses on the procurement of orthopaedic supplies, spanning categories such as spinal biologics, power tools, and capital equipment. The contract, valued at £27,000,000, is aimed at addressing needs within the UK, specifically targeting regions classified under UKL. Interested parties should note that the tender period concludes on 29th May 2026, with the enquiry period ending on 22nd May 2026.
