Notice Title

(Maintenance of) Surgical Equipment

Notice Description

This is a new requirement for the maintenance contract of surgical equipment owned by Carl Zeiss located at Bronglais, Glangwili and Prince Philip Hospitals. As high-risk medical equipment, these devices must be maintained under a formal regime to ensure patient safety, regulatory compliance, and equipment reliability. The contract provides manufacturer-supported preventive maintenance, remote diagnostics, corrective repairs including parts and consumables, software updates, and access to loan equipment where required, ensuring prompt return to service and minimising disruption to surgical procedures.
