Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board procured maintenance services for surgical robots. The requirement is for repair and maintenance of medical and precision equipment, specifically surgical robots, for the health board. The delivery location is recorded as region UKL16, which corresponds to Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan. The buyer is based in Newport. The procurement was arranged through the NHS Supply Chain framework, indicating a framework-based route for this specialist equipment maintenance requirement.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Intuitive Surgical Ltd; the contract is active and was signed on 1 October 2026. The contract value is £858,000. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, through the NHS Supply Chain framework. One lot covered the surgical robot maintenance requirement, with award based on price. One bid was recorded for the lot. The lot is marked cancelled, although the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome therefore identifies Intuitive Surgical Ltd as the selected supplier and records an active contract.

This award shows that the health board buys specialist maintenance for surgical robots through the NHS Supply Chain framework, rather than a separately advertised open competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability to maintain surgical robot systems and the capacity to support a health board’s clinical equipment reliably. The selected supplier is Intuitive Surgical Ltd, so experience with the relevant robot technology and access to appropriate technical expertise are important indicators of fit. The award was evaluated on price, making competitive pricing relevant alongside the ability to deliver the required maintenance service. Suppliers should be able to work through the framework route used for this purchase and support delivery in the health board’s service area.
