UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board is procuring ongoing maintenance and support for Carl Zeiss Field Analysers in the ophthalmology department at Singleton Hospital. The service covers preventative and corrective maintenance, technical support, and access to replacement parts when required. Its purpose is to keep this clinical equipment safe, reliable and operational, minimise downtime, meet manufacturer recommendations and support patient care. The Health Board has confirmed that it does not plan to replace the analysers during the maintenance term, so continued servicing is needed. The equipment is located in Swansea, Wales.

The procurement is complete and Carl Zeiss UK was selected for the single lot. The Health Board used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award is recorded as pending. Its value is £62,156.80 excluding VAT (£74,588.16 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The planned signature date is 28 October 2026. The data identifies the award as for repair and maintenance services, but provides no separate evaluation criteria or scored basis for selection.

This requirement demonstrates recurring demand from Swansea Bay University Health Board for specialist support of Carl Zeiss ophthalmic field analysers. A credible supplier would need the technical capability to maintain this specific equipment, diagnose and correct faults, provide preventative servicing and technical support, and source replacement parts when necessary. The work is tied to equipment used in a hospital ophthalmology department, where reliability, safe operation, manufacturer-recommended maintenance and reduced downtime matter to continuity of patient care. Carl Zeiss UK was selected through a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not establish a competitive price or assessment benchmark. Suppliers considering similar future work for this buyer should be able to demonstrate relevant manufacturer-specific expertise and dependable maintenance support at the scale of a multi-year service arrangement.
