Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board procured dental carts for use across its community dental services. The purchasing process was managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. The requirement was for dental equipment rather than the anaesthesia machines described in the lot information, which conflicts with the overall procurement description and title. The listed delivery location is Wrexham Maelor Hospital, while the overall description refers to use across community dental services. These differing descriptions make the precise equipment specification and delivery scope difficult to establish from the published information. The stated procurement category is goods; the associated classification is anaesthesia devices, which does not align with the dental-cart description.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Wright Health Group. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £37,015.66. The buyer used a direct award through the NHS Supply Chain framework for Dental Technologies, Implants and Related Consumables and Services, without publishing a call for competition. The stated legal basis is the framework route permitted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The process records one bid. The listed lot is marked cancelled and describes an anaesthetic machine for use in the MRI scanner at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, despite the overall procurement being titled and described as dental carts; this inconsistency makes the awarded scope unclear. Price was the stated award criterion.

For suppliers seeking to compete for similar requirements from this health board, this award indicates purchasing of equipment for dental services through an NHS Supply Chain framework, rather than an openly advertised competition. Credible suppliers would need to offer dental carts suited to community dental use and be able to supply through the relevant framework. The award went to Wright Health Group, and one bid was recorded, so framework access and a clear match to the dental equipment specification appear central to competing through this route. The inconsistent reference to anaesthesia equipment and delivery at Wrexham Maelor Hospital means suppliers should establish the actual product and deployment requirements before assessing this as a guide to future demand. The award provides evidence of a modest, individual equipment purchase, not a broader services contract.
