Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board sought a supplier for 12 Controlled Environment Storage Cabinets (CESCs) in Swansea. The requirement covered supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance of cabinets for the safe storage of endoscopes and transoesophageal echocardiogram (TOE) probes. The cabinets must provide a clean, dry and ventilated controlled environment that supports drying, maintains decontamination integrity and reduces the risk of microbial contamination before patient use. Together, the cabinets are intended to store 130 endoscopes, including channelled and non-channelled types, as well as TOE probes. This is a specialist medical equipment supply, installation and maintenance service, classified under CPV 50000000 for repair and maintenance services.

This procurement has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, through an NHS Supply Chain framework, with price as the only stated award criterion. The requirement was handled by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services for Swansea Bay University Health Board. LTE SCIENTIFIC LIMITED and LTE Scientific Ltd are recorded as the awarded suppliers. The recorded contract value is £209,982.58. The contract was signed on 11 March 2026 and has a stated duration of 1,800 days. One bid was received, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The contract record was amended to reflect Swansea Bay University Health Board as the contracting authority.

This outcome indicates demand from a Welsh NHS health board for specialist controlled-environment storage supporting endoscopy and cardiac diagnostic services. A credible future supplier would need to provide compliant cabinets for drying and safe storage, understand decontamination integrity and clinical-use requirements, and deliver the complete equipment lifecycle: supply, installation, commissioning and maintenance. Experience supporting hospitals or other regulated healthcare environments would help demonstrate reliability, infection-control awareness and the ability to minimise disruption to clinical procedures. Suppliers should also be able to work through NHS procurement frameworks and compete primarily on price, while showing sufficient capacity to deploy and maintain multiple cabinets and support storage for a substantial fleet of endoscopes and TOE probes.
