Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board purchased a Sonata Fibroid Ablation Device, a specialist medical device used in fibroid treatment, for Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan, Wales. The procurement was managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, on behalf of the health board. It falls within the medical equipment category (CPV 33100000) and concerns the supply of goods rather than works or services. The requirement was a single device for hospital use, delivered to Glan Clwyd Hospital, Sarn Lane, Bodelwyddan, LL18 5UJ. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain Dynamic Purchasing System for Medical Technology Innovation.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through the NHS Supply Chain Dynamic Purchasing System for Medical Technology Innovation. The award was evaluated on price. Hologic Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and is worth £120,000. One bid was received, submitted electronically; it was from a non-EU supplier, and none came from an SME. The tender record shows one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled even though the related award is active and the contract is active. The procurement rationale states that a pricing exercise was conducted under the DPS terms.

This procurement demonstrates demand from NHS Wales for specialist fibroid-ablation technology for hospital use, rather than general medical equipment. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would need to provide the Sonata Fibroid Ablation Device itself, or hold the relevant rights and supply capability for it, and support delivery to a Welsh NHS hospital. The successful supplier was a large organisation, and the process attracted one bid, indicating a highly specialised requirement with a narrow supplier base. Businesses assessing this market would need the operational capacity to supply a complete medical device through the NHS Supply Chain Dynamic Purchasing System for Medical Technology Innovation and to compete through its pricing process. Evidence of reliable supply and NHS-relevant delivery capability would support credibility.
