Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board bought calibration services for test equipment used by its Medical Electronics and Clinical Engineering Departments. The equipment supports activity at Morriston, Singleton and Neath Port Talbot Hospitals. All calibration work is to be carried out on site at Morriston Hospital, making this a specialist on-site service rather than a general equipment supply or remote testing requirement. The procurement is categorised as services and concerns the repair and maintenance of equipment. The buying organisation is supported in the procurement by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership and its procurement services team. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are those able to calibrate medical and clinical engineering test equipment and organise delivery across the Health Board’s hospital service, with the practical work concentrated at Morriston Hospital.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold direct award without competition. One completed lot was awarded to Calibration House, with an award value of £54,705 excluding VAT and £65,646 including VAT. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is recorded as active from 2 September 2026 to 30 April 2031. The earlier stated award contract period ran from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2030. The contract covers one service lot and was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The selected supplier is Calibration House. The procurement falls under the UK Public Contracts Act 2023 legal basis and is below the applicable threshold.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award shows a recurring requirement for specialist calibration of test equipment used in NHS medical electronics and clinical engineering. A credible competitor would need demonstrable technical capability in calibration and maintenance, together with the operational capacity to work on site at Morriston Hospital and support equipment used across Morriston, Singleton and Neath Port Talbot Hospitals. Relevant experience should cover healthcare or similarly controlled technical environments, where equipment reliability and accurate testing are important to service delivery. Suppliers should also be able to coordinate visits, equipment handling and records across multiple hospital departments while maintaining consistent service standards. The incumbent’s scale indicates that the requirement can suit an established specialist provider with sufficient resources for a Health Board-wide service.
