Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has managed the procurement process for the capital purchase of a replacement V-Beam Perfecta Pulsed-Dye Laser for the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. This tender involves a direct award without prior competition, in accordance with Welsh devolved regulations applicable to public authority operations. The process is currently at the award stage, with the award notice indicating the pending status of the contract valued at £66,728 before taxes. The contract period is scheduled to start on 24th March 2026 and conclude on 23rd April 2026. The procurement categorised under the medical equipment industry includes goods above the threshold, intended for delivery within UKL22, Cardiff.

The direct procurement method rationalises the award to Syneron Candela (UK) Ltd, given their unique provision capabilities and clinical requirements specific to pulsed dye laser systems, such as treating vascular lesions. It presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses involved in medical equipment manufacturing and supply, particularly those specialising in laser technology with specific technical requirements. Given the direct nature of the award, competitive opportunities may be limited, yet providing insight into niche market needs could facilitate strategic planning for SMEs aiming to expand their operations in the specialised medical equipment sector. Moreover, businesses focused on enhancing technology in clinical treatments can consider forming alliances or seeking niche advancements aligned with clinical consultations and procurement demands showcased in this contract.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Capital Purchase of a Replacement V-Beam Perfecta Pulsed-Dye Laser

Notice Description

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board intend to Direct Award without prior competition for the purchase of a replacement V-Beam Perfecta Pulsed-Dye Laser.

Procurement Information

The V-Beam Perfecta is a clinically required, pulsed dye laser (PDL) system with specific wavelengths, pulse durations, beam profiles and cooling mechanisms uniquely suited to treating vascular lesions such as port-wine stains, haemangiomas and telangiectasia. * Clinical consultation has confirmed that alternative suppliers cannot meet the essential clinical requirements relating to treatment outcomes, pulse structure, spot size selection, cooling delivery (Candela's DCD), and operator safety. * Switching to an alternative platform poses risk of inferior clinical outcomes, retraining requirements and failure to meet documented clinical pathways. * Candela Medical is the sole manufacturer and sole authorised provider of the V-Beam Perfecta Laser and associated consumables, servicing and warranty. * For these reasons, no other supplier can provide equipment that meets the authority's mandatory clinical and operational specifications.
