Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured an agreement for the supply of percutaneous coronary intervention medical consumables, described as balloons and stents. The procurement is classified as medical consumables and is intended to support the Health Board’s healthcare services across its sites in Wales. The contracting process also contains a lot description referring to 25,000 case note folders for managing patient records in outpatient clinics, wards and other healthcare settings; this conflicts with the tender title and main description. The named buyer is Swansea Bay University Health Board, which also acts as a central purchasing body. The awarded supplier, Abbott Medical U.K. Ltd, is a large supplier based in Solihull.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure through an existing framework agreement, with a direct award without prior publication of a competition notice. Abbott Medical U.K. Ltd was awarded the contract on 24 June 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The active contract value is £506,000. One bid was recorded, with no SME bids. The recorded evaluation basis was 40% quality and 60% cost, covering specification compliance, durability, product standards, business continuity, price, delivery, transparency, value for money and cost stability. The sole lot is marked cancelled, although an active award and contract are also recorded against it.

This outcome indicates demand from a Welsh health board for specialist medical consumables supplied through a framework-based direct-award route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability to supply PCI balloons and stents at healthcare scale, maintain consistent product quality and meet detailed technical specifications. Evidence of reliable distribution to multiple healthcare sites, continuity of supply and effective risk management would be important. Commercial competitiveness would also matter: the recorded assessment placed greater weight on cost than quality, including unit pricing, delivery costs, pricing transparency, value for money and cost stability. Suppliers should also understand framework agreement routes and the requirements of NHS health-board procurement in Wales.
