UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust intends to procure resuscitation training manikins for Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, supporting Basic Life Support, Immediate Life Support and Advanced Life Support training programmes. The goods fall within resuscitation devices (CPV 33172200). The manikins are expected to support training across all levels of resuscitation, with objective, real-time feedback on CPR performance. The requirement covers feedback on compression depth, compression rate, chest recoil and, where applicable, ventilation performance. The Trust is seeking equipment that supports compliance with the 2025 Resuscitation Council UK guidance. Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Cardiff.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a pre-market engagement exercise to inform a future procurement; it is not an invitation to tender. The Trust expects to issue a subsequent notice around 1 September 2026. Suppliers interested in the engagement were asked to provide relevant information about their organisation and proposed solution by 11 August 2026, after which the Trust planned to issue further engagement details. The anticipated contract period is 1 October to 1 December 2026. The procurement is expected to be for goods, below the applicable threshold, using an open procedure. The published estimated value is £1 GBP, and the requirement is planned as a single lot.

The work is likely to suit manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-training suppliers that can provide resuscitation manikins for BLS, ILS and ALS education. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to participate. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate measurable, real-time CPR feedback rather than relying only on an auditory chest-click to indicate compression depth. Relevant capability includes accurately measuring compression depth, rate and recoil, together with ventilation performance where applicable, and presenting the results in a way that supports instructor-led assessment. Businesses with experience supplying healthcare education equipment and aligning products with Resuscitation Council UK guidance should use the engagement to explain their solution, evidence its performance and prepare for the later procurement.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Resuscitation Training Manikins for Velindre Cancer Centre

Notice Description

Velindre University NHS Trust is undertaking a pre-market engagement exercise to inform a future procurement for the provision of Resuscitation Training Manikins to support Basic Life Support (BLS), Immediate Life Support (ILS), and Advanced Life Support (ALS) training programmes. cross all levels of resuscitation training (Basic Life Support (BLS), Immediate Life Support (ILS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS)), the Trust is specifically seeking manikins that provide objective CPR performance feedback. Solutions that rely solely on an auditory chest-click mechanism to indicate compression depth will not be sufficient to meet the Trust's requirements. Suppliers should demonstrate how their equipment provides real-time, measurable feedback on CPR quality, including compression depth, rate, recoil and ventilation performance where applicable. This requirement is considered essential to support compliance with the 2025 Resuscitation Council UK guidance.
