UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board bought a robotic ultrasound transducer, including the application and reprocessing tray, for NHS Wales use. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, classified under CPV 33000000, covering medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and personal care products. The equipment was to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The purchase was funded from charitable funds. Swansea Bay University Health Board was the buyer, while NHS Wales managed the procurement. The requirement concerns the supply of the transducer and its associated tray rather than a broader clinical service, maintenance contract or construction project. It is therefore most relevant to manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers able to provide robotic ultrasound technology and the specified reprocessing equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One bid was received and one final-stage bid was recorded. GE Healthcare Ltd was awarded the single lot on 19 June 2026. The awarded and signed contract value was £28,252 excluding VAT, or £33,902.40 including VAT. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and runs from 10 July 2026 to 8 July 2027. The contract is active. The published information records one completed lot and an active award to GE Healthcare Ltd. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. The available outcome data does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings; the competition was limited rather than an open procedure.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Swansea Bay University Health Board for robotic ultrasound equipment supplied with an application and reprocessing tray. Suppliers positioned for a future requirement of this type would need a product portfolio covering robotic ultrasound transducers and the associated tray, with the technical capability to supply equipment suitable for NHS clinical use. Manufacturers and specialist distributors with established healthcare equipment delivery arrangements would be well placed to compete. The previous award to a large medical technology supplier indicates that the buyer accepted a supplier with the scale and specialist product capability to provide the complete equipment package. Businesses monitoring this buyer should therefore focus on robotic ultrasound technology, reprocessing compatibility and reliable supply of specialist medical equipment rather than general healthcare products.
