Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services arranged maintenance services for three Getinge GSS67 sterilisers at the Hospital Sterile Services Department within Withybush Hospital. The equipment sterilises reusable surgical instruments and medical devices, supporting decontamination standards, patient safety and the continuity of clinical procedures. The requirement covers ongoing maintenance intended to keep the sterilisers reliable, reduce equipment downtime and support regulatory compliance. The work is hospital equipment repair and maintenance, classified under CPV 50000000. Withybush Hospital is in Wales. The procurement was conducted for the health service through the NHS Wales shared procurement function, with the equipment located at the hospital’s sterile services department.

This completed procurement used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, through the NHS Supply Chain framework. The award was made to Getinge Limited, the sole bidder, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 6 May 2026 for £92,730.40 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The requirement covers a 36-month maintenance period. It was arranged as one lot, with price as the award criterion; the procurement data records that lot as cancelled while also recording an active award against it. The framework route was the stated basis for the award, and the arrangement involved a framework agreement.

This requirement suits suppliers with specialist capability in maintaining Getinge GSS67 sterilisers or closely comparable sterilisation equipment used in hospital sterile services departments. Credible competitors would need practical engineering expertise, reliable planned and reactive maintenance delivery, and an understanding of decontamination standards, regulatory compliance and the patient-safety consequences of equipment failure. Experience supporting reusable surgical-instrument and medical-device sterilisation would be directly relevant. The sole bid came from an SME and the successful supplier was Getinge Limited, indicating that a focused specialist business can compete for this scale of hospital equipment maintenance work. Suppliers should also understand NHS procurement and be able to operate through an NHS framework arrangement, while demonstrating capacity to keep critical equipment available and minimise disruption to clinical services.
