Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Public Health Wales NHS Trust procured a short-term reagent rental service for sexual health testing at Singleton Hospital in Swansea. The arrangement covers the Singleton part of an earlier managed service while Public Health Wales undertakes a wider procurement. Testing supports sexual health screening, including analysis of sexual health markers and related tests. Public Health Wales operates microbiology laboratories providing diagnostic services to health boards and surveillance for public health protection. The wider screening service is delivered through three Welsh sites: Singleton Hospital, Swansea; Ysbyty Glan Clwyd, Rhyl; and the UHW/Imperial Park Unit 5 site in Newport, with clinical input from the Welsh Specialist Virology Centre in Cardiff. This contract’s specified delivery site is Singleton.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Roche Diagnostics Limited; the contract is active and was signed on 22 September 2026. The contract value is £235,665. It covers one lot, which is marked cancelled in the tender data, while the award is active. Public Health Wales used a limited procedure without a prior competition, calling off a contract from NHS Supply Chain’s laboratory diagnostics, point-of-care testing and pathology managed services arrangement. The recorded evaluation basis was price. The award data records one bid for the lot. No award date or contract period is stated in the available process information.

This award shows demand for reagent rental to support sexual health testing at Public Health Wales’s Singleton laboratory, as a short-term bridge while a broader procurement is undertaken. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide the reagents and rental arrangement needed to sustain testing of sexual health markers and related analyses at that site. The buyer is continuing a regional testing model across three Welsh sites, so relevant experience supporting clinical laboratory diagnostics and dependable testing operations would strengthen a supplier’s credibility. The route used here was a call-off from an NHS Supply Chain managed-services arrangement, and the recorded award assessment was price-led. Suppliers should therefore be able to compete through the relevant route and offer a cost-competitive service that meets laboratory testing needs.
