Summary of the contracting process

Powys Teaching Health Board bought anti-ligature beds for the AMI Unit at Bronllys Hospital. This is a specialist hospital-furniture supply requirement, intended for a healthcare setting where beds must be designed to reduce ligature risks. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the purchase for the Health Board. The delivery location is Bronllys Hospital in Powys, Wales. The requirement is for beds rather than a wider programme of hospital furniture or clinical services, so it is most relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of anti-ligature beds and healthcare furniture able to supply equipment for hospital use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Pineapple Contracts. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026, with a contract value of £11,490. The purchase was made by direct award through the NHS Supply Chain Medical Healthcare Furniture and Equipment Framework, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The stated rationale was that the framework permitted the direct award under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Price was the stated award criterion. The procurement was presented as one lot for the AMI Unit at Bronllys Hospital; that lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, while the award is active and the contract is active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows demand for anti-ligature beds at Powys Teaching Health Board, for use in the AMI Unit at Bronllys Hospital. A credible competitor would need to supply beds specifically designed for anti-ligature use and suitable for a hospital environment, with the capacity to meet a focused equipment requirement rather than provide a broad healthcare service. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the recorded competition received one bid, indicating that a specialist supplier can serve this type of requirement. The buyer used the NHS Supply Chain Medical Healthcare Furniture and Equipment Framework as its route to purchase, so experience and eligibility within relevant NHS supply arrangements would be commercially relevant when competing for this buyer’s comparable requirement in future.
