UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, seeks suppliers for high precision liquid handling tips, specifically Hamilton consumables, to support laboratories across NHS Wales. Categorised under the healthcare industry, this procurement process is fully awarded with contracts in place from 28th February 2026 to 27th February 2027. The buying organisation requires a consistent supply of essential items like sterile pipette tips and barcoded plates, without competition, using a direct procurement method. Predominantly serving the Wales region (UKL22), the contract ensures stock levels that prevent disruptions in clinical, diagnostic, and research operations, affirming strict standards for sterility and traceability.

This tender poses significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in supplying Hamilton-specific laboratory consumables, particularly those offering sustainable solutions. While large-scale suppliers like Hamilton Sales & Services UK Limited have been successful in securing awards, the demand for sustainable, high-quality materials presents innovation and partnership opportunities for other suppliers in the healthcare goods sector. Firms that can ensure reliable delivery, provide bulk orders, and support continuous availability are well-suited to meet the demands of this procurement, thereby expanding their footprint in the medical industry supply chain.

Notice Information

Notice Title

HIGH PRECISIONS LIQUID HANDLING TIPS

Notice Description

AWMGS uses Hamilton machines, and therefore requires a dependable and sustainable contract for the ongoing supply of Hamilton consumables. This ensures that laboratories across NHS Wales have continuous access to essential items such as sterile and nonsterile pipette tips, barcoded plates, and other related Hamilton specific supplies. These products must meet strict Hamilton performance, provide full sterility and traceability where required, and offer sustainable options such as biocircular materials. The contract aims to maintain consistent stock levels, prevent workflow disruptions caused by supply shortages, and support high throughput automated testing across clinical, diagnostic, and research settings. Hamilton will be expected to provide high availability, strong quality assurance, and reliable delivery performance, including support for both bulk orders and standing orders.
