Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Flintshire County Council and Denbighshire County Council jointly sought community equipment service, maintenance and calibration services. The requirement covered medical and precision equipment used across the community, including repair and maintenance. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the procurement. Delivery was across North Wales, covering the areas served by the three participating organisations: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, Flintshire and Denbighshire. The service was classified under CPV 50400000 for repair and maintenance of medical and precision equipment, with additional miscellaneous repair and maintenance services. This requirement is relevant to suppliers providing planned and reactive maintenance, calibration, servicing and technical support for community healthcare equipment.

The procurement reached award stage, but the associated contract was cancelled on 24 August 2026 because the contracting authorities decided not to award the contract. Drive Medical Limited was selected on 5 August 2026, with an awarded value of £3,355,058.18 excluding VAT (£4,026,069.82 including VAT). The planned contract period was 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 30 September 2031. It was a single-lot, above-threshold open procedure. Two bids were received, including one from an SME. Evaluation weighted commercial cost at 60% and technical quality at 40%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement demonstrates established public-sector demand for community equipment servicing across a large, multi-authority healthcare footprint. A credible competitor would need the technical capability to inspect, maintain, repair and calibrate medical and precision equipment in community settings, while coordinating delivery across health-board and local-authority services. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on commercial cost than technical quality, so suppliers would need disciplined pricing alongside a clear, robust technical offer. Relevant organisations include specialist medical-equipment maintenance providers and SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises able to manage a geographically distributed service. Evidence of reliable field operations, calibration competence, quality controls, responsive support and the capacity to serve several public bodies would strengthen a future offer for this requirement.
