Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Health Board procured maintenance services for Stryker Power Tools used in operating theatres at Bronglais, Glangwili, Prince Philip and Withybush Hospitals in Wales. The requirement covers high-risk medical equipment and is intended to support patient safety, regulatory compliance and reliable theatre operations. Services include planned maintenance, rapid-response repairs and support to return equipment to service, reducing disruption to surgical procedures. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement, with the Health Board responsible for ensuring that the service delivers its intended purpose. This is a specialist medical equipment repair and maintenance requirement rather than a general facilities maintenance contract, and is relevant to suppliers with expertise in Stryker Power Tools and theatre equipment servicing.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was conducted as a below-threshold direct award without competition, with one completed lot. Stryker UK Ltd was selected as supplier. The award value is £98,250.40 excluding VAT, or £117,900.48 including VAT. The award period runs from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2027. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and its recorded contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The contract is below the applicable threshold. Evaluation was not competitive because the Health Board used a direct award procedure without competition. The requirement is a renewal of the existing Stryker Power Tools service contract.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Hywel Dda University Health Board for specialist servicing of Stryker Power Tools across four hospital theatres. A credible future supplier would need demonstrated capability in planned maintenance, fault diagnosis, rapid-response repair and safe return to service for high-risk surgical equipment. Experience of working in operating-theatre environments would be important, including the ability to minimise disruption to clinical procedures and maintain equipment reliability. Suppliers would also need to understand medical-device regulatory compliance and patient-safety requirements, and to operate an organised formal maintenance regime. The incumbent’s position as the equipment manufacturer indicates that product-specific technical knowledge and access to appropriate parts, expertise and support arrangements are commercially significant for this requirement.
