UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust, based in Cardiff, is conducting a pre-market engagement exercise to support the future procurement of Resuscitation Training Manikins for the Velindre Cancer Centre. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage with a focus on acquiring manikins that provide real-time, measurable feedback on CPR quality, in line with the Resuscitation Council UK guidance for 2025. The procurement falls under the goods category and involves Welsh devolved regulations. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage in this process by 11 August 2026. A future notice is expected on 1 September 2026, with the contract period anticipated from 1 October to 1 December 2026.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities for suppliers of advanced medical training equipment, particularly those specialising in resuscitation devices. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions, offering precise feedback mechanisms beyond auditory indicators, are well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in manufacturing or distributing sophisticated resuscitation manikins that align with current clinical guidelines can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence within the UK healthcare sector. Engaging early in the procurement process can allow businesses to help shape the solution requirements and build strategic relationships with the NHS Trust.
