Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board bought a piezoelectric bone surgery system for oral and maxillofacial surgery at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. The requirement was for a dual-wave piezoelectric surgery system, together with all appropriate accessories. This is a specialist medical equipment supply, specifically surgical instruments, rather than a broader hospital equipment or clinical services contract. The equipment is intended for use in the hospital’s oral and maxillofacial surgery service. The procurement was treated as one lot, covering the system and associated accessories as a single requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to General Medical Ltd. The award date was 21 October 2026. The contract period runs from 3 November to 10 November 2026. The awarded value is £47,950 excluding VAT (£57,540 including VAT). The Health Board used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The stated basis was market research indicating that only one UK supplier could provide equipment meeting the Health Board’s clinical and operational requirements. The award covers the single lot for the system and accessories. No separate scored evaluation criteria are set out; the stated basis for selecting the supplier was its ability to meet the requirement.

This award shows demand from Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board for specialist equipment supporting oral and maxillofacial surgery at Prince Charles Hospital. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply a dual-wave piezoelectric surgery system and the appropriate accessories, and demonstrate that the equipment meets the Health Board’s clinical and operational needs. The buyer’s stated view that only one UK supplier could meet those needs was central to this award, so suppliers would need a clear, evidence-based account of how their system compares with the required clinical and operational specification. This is a focused medical equipment opportunity for suppliers with relevant product capability, not a general surgical services contract.
