UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured a MegaCode Kelly Basic simulator, also described as a Laerdal Trauma Manikin. This is a full-body adult healthcare training manikin for students and practising professionals. It supports realistic training in CPR, airway management, ventilation, pulse and breathing assessment, and basic life-support procedures. The procurement is for goods in the training aids and devices category. Delivery is to Swansea. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services managed the procurement for the Health Board, whose budget is being used to acquire the equipment. The requirement is therefore relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of clinical simulation equipment, emergency-care training devices and related healthcare education products.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition conducted through a quotation exercise. Laerdal Medical was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed and started on 11 September 2026, runs until 10 September 2027, and remains active. Its value is £12,822.15 excluding VAT and £15,386.58 including VAT. The award was for goods, with the purchase evaluated through the quotation process; the published information describes the required simulator and its training functions but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. Swansea Bay University Health Board is the buyer, with NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services acting as the procuring organisation.

This award indicates a defined NHS Wales requirement for adult emergency-care simulation equipment that can support repeated teaching and skills practice across CPR, airway management, ventilation, pulse and breathing assessment, and basic life support. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need a credible product range covering full-body clinical training manikins, with realistic functions suited to healthcare students and qualified professionals. They would also need to supply through a quotation-based, below-threshold route and demonstrate that their equipment matches the specified training outcomes. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that specialist small and medium-sized businesses can serve this type of Health Board requirement. Relevant competitors include manufacturers, authorised distributors and healthcare education equipment specialists able to deliver to Swansea.
