Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board bought servicing, validation and weekly testing for its Poka Yoke endoscope washers. The requirement covers repair and maintenance services for the existing equipment, supporting reliable operation of endoscope-washing equipment in the health board’s NHS facilities. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services managed the procurement on the health board’s behalf. The stated delivery area is Wales, with the buyer based in Abercynon, Mountain Ash, and the procuring service based in Cardiff. This is a specialist healthcare equipment maintenance service rather than a supply-only purchase or installation project. Businesses with experience maintaining, validating and routinely testing Poka Yoke endoscope washers, or closely related endoscope decontamination equipment, are the most relevant potential competitors for future requirements of this kind.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award, below threshold and without competition, under section 43 of the Procurement Act 2023. One lot was awarded to S V B Engineering on 5 June 2026. The awarded and contracted value is £39,730 excluding VAT, or £47,676 including VAT. The signed contract is active and runs from 8 June 2026 to 7 June 2027. The award record also gives a service period from 17 June 2026 to 16 June 2027. The buyer justified the direct award after market engagement through the NHS Supply Chain Endoscope Maintenance framework: expressions of interest were sought from 35 suppliers, but responses did not demonstrate the capability to maintain the existing equipment. The incumbent supplier was therefore judged to be the only capable provider.

This award demonstrates a recurring need for specialist maintenance of Poka Yoke endoscope washers within Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability to service the existing washer models, carry out validation, and complete weekly testing to the required healthcare standards. Experience of endoscope decontamination equipment and an understanding of the operational requirements of NHS facilities would be important. Suppliers would also need sufficient engineering capacity to provide planned, routine attendance and respond effectively to equipment-maintenance needs across the buyer’s facilities. The procurement route shows that access through an established NHS maintenance framework may be relevant, while the market exercise indicates that technical evidence concerning the specific installed equipment is likely to be decisive. This is a focused opportunity for specialist medical-equipment engineering businesses rather than general facilities-maintenance providers.
