Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board requires ongoing servicing and maintenance of two Wassenburg WD440 washer-disinfector units, serial numbers 202-134 and 202-135. The equipment is located in the Urology department at Royal Gwent Hospital. This is specialist medical equipment maintenance, covering continued manufacturer-approved support for washer-disinfectors used in a hospital setting. Wassenburg is the original equipment manufacturer. The requirement is managed for the Health Board through NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Procurement Services. The work concerns the specified units rather than a general estate-wide maintenance service, so it is most relevant to medical equipment manufacturers, authorised service organisations and specialist engineering providers with experience maintaining washer-disinfectors in healthcare environments.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, on the stated basis that technical reasons meant the service could be provided only by a particular operator. Wassenburg Limited was selected as supplier, with one bid recorded, submitted electronically. Price was the stated award criterion. The requirement was arranged as one lot, with a 360-day contract period; that lot is recorded as cancelled even though active awards and contracts are recorded. Two active contract records show values of £33,729.64 and £25,397.68 respectively, both signed on 7 April 2026. A contract amendment changed the contracting authority from NWSSP Procurement to Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.

This procurement demonstrates a specific NHS requirement for OEM-backed maintenance of Wassenburg WD440 washer-disinfectors, rather than a broad medical engineering framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need direct manufacturer authorisation or an equivalent ability to deliver manufacturer-approved maintenance, together with detailed knowledge of WD440 units and the capability to support identified equipment in a hospital urology department. Relevant suppliers are likely to be medical equipment manufacturers, authorised UK distributors, specialist healthcare engineering firms or service partners with demonstrable access to OEM parts, technical information and suitably qualified engineers. The single recorded bid and the buyer’s technical-exclusivity rationale indicate that OEM status, approved support capability and proven competence with this equipment are central to competing for this type of work.
