Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board bought a replacement neonatal incubator for use at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. This is a medical equipment supply requirement, specifically a neonatal incubator (CPV 33152000). NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the purchase on the Health Board’s behalf. Delivery was to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Wales. The requirement was for one replacement unit, rather than a wider programme of hospital equipment or related services. The purchase addressed the replacement of an ageing incubator, so relevant suppliers are those able to supply neonatal care equipment suitable for use in a hospital setting.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Loewenstein Medical UK Ltd. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and is valued at £32,950. The purchase was made through a direct award under the NHS Supply Chain framework for ventilator equipment and related accessories and services, without a separate competition. The award basis recorded was price. The process covered one requirement: a replacement neonatal incubator for Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. One bid was recorded for the requirement. No contract period or award date is recorded in the contracting data; the signing date is the stated contract milestone. The selected supplier and contract value are the outcome of the completed procurement.

This award shows a specific requirement for replacement neonatal equipment within Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, with supply delivered through an NHS Supply Chain framework rather than a standalone open competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work should be able to provide neonatal incubators appropriate for hospital use and qualify for the relevant framework route. The stated evaluation basis was price, so competitive pricing is commercially important alongside demonstrating that the equipment meets the clinical and operational need. The limited scale—a single replacement unit—suits suppliers able to fulfil targeted equipment purchases, rather than only large multi-site programmes. The buyer’s demand is for replacement of ageing neonatal equipment at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd; credibility will depend on supplying the required equipment through the framework and providing a cost-effective offer.
