Summary of the contracting process

The University of South Wales has successfully progressed in awarding a contract for the Ultima™ CardiO2® system, a significant procurement initiative under the category of medical equipment. The contract, valued at £67,398.52 gross, was awarded to Medical Graphics UK Limited. Located in Pontypridd, the contract falls under Welsh devolved regulations, indicating regional governmental oversight. The procurement utilised a direct method, below the competition threshold, hence no tendering took place. The contract was signed on 22nd July 2026, becoming active the following day and concluding on 31st July 2026.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical equipment supply and related services. The direct procurement approach highlights the value for established suppliers with the capability and readiness to engage effectively without the need for competitive tendering. Businesses with a strategic focus on developing relationships with sub-central government entities or those expanding their footprint within the UK medical supply chain may find such opportunities invaluable for scaling operations. The swift procurement process offers a precedent for similar future projects, encouraging collaboration between public authorities and competent private enterprises.
