Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the procurement process for the purchase of a Vivid E95 Ultrasound Machine for the Paediatrics Department at Glangwili General Hospital. The procurement was carried out under the NHS Supply Chain Framework for Ultrasound Scanners and Associated Options and Related Services. This contract, valued at £137,021.64, was signed on 8th September 2025 with GE Medical Systems Limited, a large-scale supplier. The procurement falls under the industry category of echo, ultrasound, and doppler imaging equipment, with the delivery location specified as the Hywel Dda University Local Health Board in the UK. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication due to its specific framework conditions.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in high-tech medical imaging equipment. While this specific contract was awarded to a large supplier, companies providing innovative or cost-effective solutions within the echo and ultrasound imaging sector can consider such frameworks for future opportunities. Businesses that align themselves with NHS frameworks, particularly those focusing on medical equipment and related services, stand to benefit greatly by increasing their visibility and potential for securing similar contracts in the future. The seller's alignment with NHS supply chain frameworks can provide a competitive edge under stringent procurement methods and frameworks.
