Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board bought eight Dräger Evita V800 critical care ventilators for intensive care and respiratory care services. The requirement covered supply, installation and commissioning, together with associated trolleys, gas supply equipment, accessories, service contracts, extended warranties and technical training. The equipment is intended to replace existing ventilators that have reached the end of their working life. This is a medical equipment supply and support requirement, classified as ventilators. Delivery is to Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, provided procurement services for the health board. The selected supplier was Dräger Medical UK Limited, a large medical technology company.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, using the NHS Supply Chain Framework Agreement. It was a direct award under the framework and Regulation 33 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Price was the award criterion. One bid was recorded, from a non-SME supplier, and it was not submitted electronically. Dräger Medical UK Limited received the award on 2 July 2026. The contract was signed on 2 July 2026, is active, and has a value of £281,008.42 excluding VAT. Its stated duration is 30 days. The published lot is marked cancelled, but the associated award and contract are active. The contracting authority was later corrected to Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board.

This outcome shows a defined NHS requirement for critical care ventilators supported by installation, commissioning, accessories, servicing, extended warranty provision and technical training. Suppliers seeking comparable health-sector work would need to provide clinically appropriate intensive-care ventilation equipment and demonstrate the capability to deliver the full equipment-and-support package, rather than supplying standalone devices. Credibility would also depend on reliable installation and commissioning, gas-supply integration, technical support, warranty administration and training for clinical or technical staff. Experience replacing end-of-life hospital assets would be relevant, as would the ability to supply through, or secure access to, an NHS procurement framework capable of supporting direct awards. The single recorded bid came from a large supplier, indicating competition from established medical technology businesses.
