Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Provision of 2 Sentimag System & Supply" was facilitated by the Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB), located in Port Talbot, United Kingdom. Classified under the medical consumables industry, this contract aimed to secure essential items to support patient records management. The procurement falls under the category of goods, and the contracting process, finalized on 29th June 2026, involved a limited method due to its status as a direct award under an existing framework agreement. This procedure was conducted without a prior call for competition, justified under Directive 2014/24/EU. The contract, valued at £265,176, is significant for the SBUHB's operations, focusing on quality factors such as compliance with specification requirements and value for money.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in medical supplies and consumable products, particularly those with an established capacity to deliver high-standard, durable products on a consistent basis. Large-scale suppliers, like HOLOGIC LTD., successfully securing the contract, demonstrate a substantial market for businesses capable of navigating direct award procedures within the healthcare domain. The lack of SME bids indicates a competitive advantage for larger entities with the infrastructure to meet stringent healthcare procurement requirements. Such projects not only enhance supplier visibility in the public sector but also foster long-term business growth through repeated engagements with major health boards.
