Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a direct award by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for the provision of endoscopy decontamination units across various sites within the region designated as UKL21, Newport, United Kingdom. This process, initiated as a tender, is in its award stage with a completion status. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance of medical and precision equipment, under CPV codes 98300000 and 50400000. The contracting authority is collaborating with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, with procurement lead Robert Jenkins. The contract period is scheduled from 28th February 2026 to 27th February 2027, and a future signature date is set for 6th February 2026. This procurement follows a direct method due to technical reasons and intellectual property rights.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in medical equipment and services. Given the direct award nature due to the requirement for manufacturer-specific Preventive Planned Maintenance (PPM), only organisations with suitable technical capabilities and exclusive rights can effectively participate. Consequently, companies like Avidity Science Limited, which has been identified as a supplier, are well-positioned to compete in this niche market, enhancing their market presence in the healthcare technology domain. This contract not only suits companies with technical expertise in endoscopic equipment but also those interested in expanding within the health sector under Welsh devolved regulations.
