Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s procurement is described overall as a purchase of endoscopy scopes and stacks, including a drying cabinet. However, the lot description and item classification instead identify an anaesthetic machine for use with the MRI scanner at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. The procurement was managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. The stated delivery location is Wrexham Maelor Hospital. These differing descriptions make the precise equipment requirement unclear, so suppliers should treat the endoscopy and anaesthesia references as distinct rather than assume they describe the same goods.

The process is recorded as complete, and an active contract was awarded to Keymed (Medical & Industrial Equipment) Limited. The contract value is £37,015.66 and it was signed on 26 August 2026. The procurement used a limited procedure without a prior published competition, through an NHS Supply Chain framework; the rationale cites the Flexible Endoscopy 2022 framework and the applicable procurement regulations. The lot description separately refers to an anaesthesia machines framework. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded for the lot. The award and contract are marked active, although the lot itself is marked cancelled, so the published status information is inconsistent.

This award demonstrates a health-board requirement for specialist endoscopy equipment, while the lot-level details also point to anaesthesia equipment for an MRI environment. Suppliers serving NHS buyers in either field would need a product range that matches the relevant clinical use and the ability to supply through an appropriate NHS Supply Chain framework. The selected supplier was a large medical and industrial equipment company, and the recorded competition attracted one bid, with no SME bids. That provides evidence of a framework-led route and a market in which established suppliers may be well placed. The conflicting descriptions mean competitors should establish which equipment category is intended before using this award as a precise guide to future demand.
