Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Local Health Board bought one Hamilton Medical T1 Transport Ventilator for Glangwili General Hospital. This was a one-off capital purchase of medical equipment, intended to support a standardisation exercise at the hospital. The requirement was for the ventilator itself rather than a broader equipment supply, installation or clinical services package. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain framework covering anaesthesia machines, ventilators, neonatal equipment, phototherapy systems, related accessories and services. The buyer is a Welsh public health body based in Carmarthen and also acts as a central purchasing body. Businesses relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, authorised UK suppliers and medical equipment distributors able to provide Hamilton Medical T1 transport ventilators through the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HAMILTON MEDICAL UK LTD. It used a limited procedure: a direct award without prior publication of a competition, by calling off from the NHS Supply Chain framework. The stated rationale was that a direct call-off was permissible under the framework. The single lot was marked cancelled, although the associated award is active and the contract is active. Evaluation was based on price. One bid was recorded, with no SME bids. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 for £23,196.95. The award relates to the purchase of one Hamilton Medical T1 Transport Ventilator. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the contracting authority was Hywel Dda University Local Health Board.

This outcome indicates a focused NHS requirement for transport ventilators purchased as capital equipment and linked to a wider clinical equipment standardisation programme. A credible future competitor would need to supply the specified Hamilton Medical T1 model, or meet an equivalent requirement if the buyer’s specification permits alternatives, while understanding the operational needs of Glangwili General Hospital. Access to the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework, or a route accepted by the health board for comparable purchases, would be important because this procurement used a direct framework call-off rather than an open competition. The successful supplier was a large specialist medical equipment company, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable product availability, UK delivery capability and experience supplying healthcare organisations with regulated clinical equipment.
