Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured goods described in the main tender as two radiographic X-ray machines, for use in healthcare settings across its sites. The procurement is classified under medical consumables, although the stated requirement is equipment. The published lot description instead concerns 25,000 case note folders for managing patient records in outpatient clinics, wards and other healthcare settings, with delivery linked to Swansea Bay University Health Board. This creates a material mismatch between the overall requirement and the lot scope. The buyer is Swansea Bay University Health Board, based in Port Talbot, and it also acts as a central purchasing body. NHS Supply Chain is identified as the supplier.

The process is complete and was conducted as a limited procedure: a direct award without a prior call for competition under an existing framework agreement. One bid was recorded, with no SME bids. The single lot was marked cancelled, but an active award and active contract are recorded against it for NHS Supply Chain. The contract was signed on 24 June 2026 for £506,000. No award date or contract end date is recorded. The lot’s stated evaluation basis was 60% cost and 40% quality, covering specification compliance, durability and material quality, product standards, business continuity and risk management. The lot description refers to case note folders, whereas the tender title refers to radiographic X-ray machines.

For suppliers assessing future demand from this health board or its purchasing arrangements, the record indicates a requirement capable of being fulfilled through an established framework and a direct award route, rather than an openly competed tender. The buyer’s stated needs span two very different areas: radiographic X-ray equipment in the overall tender description, and high-volume case note folders in the lot description. A credible competitor would therefore need to establish which requirement is authoritative before assessing capability. For the folder requirement, relevant strengths would include reliable manufacture of large quantities, consistent material and product quality, transparent pricing, stable supply, delivery capability and robust business continuity arrangements. For imaging equipment, suppliers would need demonstrable capability in radiographic X-ray systems and healthcare-sector delivery.
