Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board bought an Osmometer Pro Max with a kit for use in NHS healthcare services. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, covering the provision of the named osmometer rather than construction, consultancy or routine clinical staffing. NHS Wales managed the procurement, while Swansea Bay University Health Board is the purchasing organisation. Delivery is within Wales. The requirement was arranged as a single procurement lot and concerns a specific piece of laboratory or diagnostic equipment used to measure osmolality. Suppliers operating in medical equipment, laboratory instrumentation, diagnostics or healthcare technology may find this buyer and requirement relevant, particularly those able to supply the Osmometer Pro Max and its associated kit as an integrated package.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Advanced Instruments Ltd was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2027. Its value is £21,018.40 excluding VAT, or £25,222.08 including VAT. The purchase was treated as goods and divided into one lot, which was completed. This was a limited rather than open procedure, so the competition was restricted to invited or otherwise selected suppliers. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies the supplied item as medical equipment and records the requirement as the provision of an Osmometer Pro Max with kit.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Swansea Bay University Health Board for specialist laboratory or diagnostic equipment supplied as a complete instrument-and-kit package. Businesses most closely placed for a future requirement would be manufacturers, authorised distributors and specialist medical equipment suppliers with direct access to the Osmometer Pro Max or an equivalent product, together with the ability to support NHS purchasing and delivery in Wales. Credibility would come from product knowledge, reliable supply arrangements, installation or technical support where required, and experience serving healthcare or laboratory customers. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the scale and route used for this purchase can be accessible to smaller specialist firms as well as larger healthcare equipment providers.
