Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust is procuring the supply and installation of an electric hydraulic lifting table for the Welsh Blood Service, a division of the Trust. The equipment must have a lifting capacity of 3,000kg. The requirement is principally for goods, with an associated installation service, and is classified under transport equipment and auxiliary products. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is managing the procurement on behalf of the Welsh Blood Service. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot purchasing programme. The opportunity therefore concerns a supplier able to provide the specified hydraulic lifting equipment and complete its installation for use within a blood-service operation.

The procurement reached the tender stage: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 18 August 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 25 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2037. Its estimated value is £85,000 excluding VAT, or £102,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed through the eTender Wales Portal. Award will be based on cost weighted at 60% and quality at 40%. The procurement comprises one lot. The tender documents on the eTender Wales Portal set out the selection criteria and full requirements.

This opportunity suits equipment manufacturers, specialist lifting-equipment suppliers, and mechanical-handling contractors that can supply and install an electric hydraulic lifting table for a public-sector blood-service environment. Bidders need the technical capability to provide equipment with the required 3,000kg lifting capacity and the practical installation capability to put it into service. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to an SME with the relevant product range, engineering resources and delivery arrangements. Businesses with experience supplying industrial or transport-related lifting equipment, coordinating installation, and meeting public-sector quality requirements are likely to be well placed to compete. The tender documents contain the applicable selection requirements.
