Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, which is hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. The title of the tender is "(Maintenance of) Temperature Monitoring System," targeting the repair and maintenance services industry. This contract involves maintaining the Kelsius Temperature Monitoring System across multiple hospital sites under the Swansea Bay University Health Board in Wales. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the procurement method described as "below threshold – without competition." This stage of the process has been completed, with Kelsius Ltd, an Ireland-based company, serving as the supplier. The maintenance ensures compliance with UKAS standards and uninterrupted service for critical systems spanning laboratory medicine to blood transfusion facilities.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the maintenance and compliance services sector to engage with public healthcare bodies. Companies that have the capability to offer calibration and maintenance services of technology systems, particularly those with experience in temperature monitoring systems and compliance to regulatory standards like ISO 15189 and the MHRA, would be well-suited to compete. Such opportunities not only demand technical expertise but also provide potential growth in sustaining relationships with large public sector organisations such as the NHS, paving the way for further contracts and reinforcing a company's professional portfolio.
