Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, bought Encompass head and neck immobilisation masks for the Radiotherapy Department at Velindre Cancer Centre in Whitchurch, Cardiff. These are specialist radiotherapy treatment accessories used to immobilise patients during stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). The requirement covers supply and delivery of masks compatible with the centre’s existing clinical equipment and practices, supporting continuity of supply and patient care. This is a medical equipment and radiotherapy device supply requirement, rather than a contract for radiotherapy services or clinical treatment. The masks are for use at Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to OIS Ltd. It was placed as a direct call-off under the NHS Supply Chain framework, without a separate competition. The recorded evaluation weighting was 90% price and 10% quality. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and is active, with a stated initial term of 12 months. Its recorded value is £27,600. The procurement was described as a single-lot requirement; the lot status is recorded as cancelled, although the overall tender is complete and the award and contract are active. One bid was recorded for the lot. No award date is provided in the process data.

For suppliers of radiotherapy equipment and accessories, this award shows demand from Velindre Cancer Centre for a dependable supply of Encompass head and neck immobilisation masks used in stereotactic radiosurgery. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply the specified masks and demonstrate compatibility with the centre’s existing equipment and clinical practices. Reliable delivery and continuity of supply matter because the masks support patient care in a specialist radiotherapy department. The route used was a call-off from the NHS Supply Chain framework, so suppliers would need to be appointed to an applicable framework to compete through the same route. The evaluation placed greater weight on price than quality, while retaining a quality component.
