Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board bought seven digital dental X-ray units to replace existing equipment. The units are for use at community dental sites across the Health Board in Wales. The procurement was managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. This is a medical equipment supply requirement focused on digital dental radiography, rather than a wider dental technology or consumables purchase.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RPA Dental Equipment Limited. The contract was signed on 20 October 2026, with an awarded value of £38,500. The purchase was made by direct award through the NHS Supply Chain Dental Technologies, Implants and Related Consumables and Services framework, without a separately published competition. The procurement was assessed on price. It covered one lot for seven replacement digital X-ray units; the lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. One bid was recorded for the lot.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from this Health Board, this award indicates demand for replacement digital dental X-ray equipment across community dental sites. A credible competitor would need to supply suitable digital radiography units and demonstrate the ability to support a multi-site health service requirement. The buyer used the NHS Supply Chain framework and made a direct award under its terms, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to participate through the relevant framework route. Price was the stated basis for evaluation, making competitive pricing commercially important alongside equipment suitability and the capacity to deliver the required units. The requirement was for a defined equipment replacement rather than a broader package of dental technologies or consumables.
