Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is buying maintenance services for the OPTIS integrated system and OPTIS Ilumien mobile system. Both systems are located in the cardiac catheterisation laboratory in the cardiology department at Glan Clwyd Hospital. The requirement is for maintaining these named systems, rather than a broader hospital equipment service. The procurement was managed by NHS Wales Shared Services on the Health Board’s behalf. The work is therefore relevant to suppliers with the capability to maintain OPTIS integrated and mobile systems in a hospital cardiology setting, particularly those able to provide service at Glan Clwyd Hospital.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Abbott Medical UK Ltd without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award is recorded as pending. Its value is £82,500 excluding VAT (£99,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 18 December 2026 to 17 December 2029; the scheduled signature date was 12 December 2026. The procurement was a single lot, and the published data gives no specific evaluation criteria. The award covers maintenance of both the OPTIS integrated system and the OPTIS Ilumien mobile system at Glan Clwyd Hospital. Abbott Medical UK Ltd is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for ongoing maintenance of OPTIS systems used in a hospital cardiology department. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need demonstrable capability to service both integrated and mobile OPTIS equipment and to support its use in a cardiac catheterisation laboratory. The selected supplier is Abbott Medical UK Ltd, a large medical equipment company, and the direct award route shows that the buyer selected a supplier without a competitive procedure for this procurement. Suppliers with relevant system-specific maintenance expertise, service capacity for a hospital setting and the ability to support these two systems together are best placed to compete if the same requirement returns to market.
