Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process carried out by the Hywel Dda University Health Board involves a direct award contract for the maintenance of the Neptune Waste Management Systems. This contract falls under the services category and covers a period from 9th April 2026 to 31st December 2031, valued at £76,689.25. The procurement stage is in the award phase and the process followed was "below threshold - without competition," directly awarding the contract to Stryker UK LTD, a specialist provider. The health board, located in Camarthen, UK, required a comprehensive maintenance agreement to ensure the continued optimal function of surgical fluid waste systems across their theatres.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with expertise in medical and precision equipment. Although Stryker UK LTD has been identified as the sole supplier capable of providing OEM parts and specialized service needed for this contract, similar businesses with the capability to deliver high-standard maintenance services could potentially seek future partnerships or sub-contracting opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might find particular interest due to the specific technical requirements and niche market, aligning well with businesses looking to expand in the healthcare support services sector.
