UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is buying manual paediatric postural advanced wheelchairs and associated parts and accessories for delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a re-tender of the wheelchair agreement’s lot for complex paediatric clinical needs, following an earlier procurement in which the lot was not awarded. The required wheelchairs must provide highly configurable modular dynamic seating and tilt-in-space functionality, together with complex postural support. The procurement is for goods, including wheelchairs and associated devices. It will suit manufacturers, specialist mobility equipment suppliers and distributors able to supply clinically appropriate paediatric wheelchairs and support the requirements of NHS Wales procurement services.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. This is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £358,744 excluding VAT, or £430,493 including VAT. Questions can be submitted until 14 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers are due by 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The intended award decision date is 17 September 2026. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible two-year extension until 31 March 2032. Evaluation is staged: compliance, conditions of participation, mandatory technical responses, scored technical assessment, product evaluation using requested samples where required, and commercial pricing assessed on the most advantageous tender basis. Economic and technical selection criteria apply.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in complex paediatric postural wheelchair design, manufacture or supply, particularly those able to configure modular dynamic seating and tilt-in-space systems for children with complex clinical and postural needs. Bidders must demonstrate the capacity and capability required by the qualification assessment and provide complete, relevant responses to mandatory technical questions. Suppliers should be prepared for technical evaluation and, where requested, physical product evaluation, including providing samples; failure to supply required samples can lead to elimination. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It is therefore relevant to specialist mobility businesses as well as larger healthcare equipment providers with suitable products, technical expertise and supply capacity.
