Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Hywel Dda University Health Board has completed a procurement process titled "Maintenance of Pentax Stacks and Scopes Equipment," categorised under repair and maintenance services. This procurement pertains to the upkeep of medical equipment vital for diagnosing and treating conditions within the health board's facilities. The contract spans five years and is set within the UK, primarily under the NHS Supply Chain Framework. The procurement stage is defined as Award, and the process concluded with a contract signed on 31st March 2026. This limited procurement method involved direct awarding to a specific supplier, Pentax UK Limited, without prior competitive tendering, as no other suppliers can meet the technical requirements stipulated.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical equipment maintenance, particularly those with expertise in handling Pentax hardware. Given the specialised nature of this contract, the opportunity is best suited for original equipment manufacturers or businesses with recognised technical capabilities in medical device repair. Although this contract was singularly awarded to Pentax UK Limited, companies looking to engage in similar future opportunities should focus on developing niche technical services that align with high-standard maintenance and OEM requirements to compete effectively in such strategic market segments.
