UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is buying a range of airway-management medical consumables for use across Wales. Products include paediatric and adult nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal airways; airway-seal pressure devices; tracheal, endobronchial and microlaryngeal tubes; endotracheal tube holders; mini-BAL sampling catheters; colourimetric carbon dioxide detectors; and bronchoscopes, monitors and accessories. The requirement also covers products with differing materials and features, including single-use, cuffed, reinforced, sterile and MRI-compatible options. The purpose is to establish a Wales-wide compliant purchasing agreement for these products. Deliveries are for NHS health boards and trusts throughout Wales, including ambulance services and Velindre University NHS Trust.

The buyer invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. This is a framework agreement for health boards and trusts in Wales, with call-offs both with and without reopening competition. It is divided into 52 product lots, which are identified by product type; suppliers can find paediatric airways, adult airways and other distinct device categories. The estimated overall value is £2,971,605.44 excluding VAT (£3,555,926.53 including VAT). The planned contract period runs from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2031. The deadline for clarification enquiries was 19 October 2026 at 12 noon; bids were due by 26 October 2026 at 12 noon. For most lots, price carries 90% of the score and technical packaging 10%. The bronchoscope lot uses a pass/fail specification check and scored technical questions.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and medical-device suppliers with products specifically designed for airway management and the ability to supply NHS buyers across Wales. The product range is broad, from airway adjuncts and several configurations of tracheal tubes to bronchoscopy equipment, monitors and accessories; businesses may focus on relevant product categories through the separate lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly identified as suitable for every lot, making the structure relevant to specialist suppliers as well as larger catalogue businesses. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that products meet the required specifications, with packaging assessed as the technical element for most categories. For bronchoscopes, monitors and accessories, products must pass the specification check and suppliers must provide answers to scored technical questions. The framework offers routes to supply through individual call-offs, some involving a renewed competition.
