## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the procurement process for Home Oxygen Services, classified under the oxygen-therapy services category (CPV: 85111700). This limited tender was directly awarded as an urgent Covid-19 requirement under Regulation 32 (2) (c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, with the contract amounting to £5,978,000. The award was made to Baywater Healthcare UK Limited on 15 January 2021, with the contract effective until 30 June 2022. Services will be delivered to various locations throughout Wales, focusing on providing oxygen supply and equipment to users in their own homes and while travelling or working outside their home.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focusing on medical gases, oxygen therapy devices, and related medical equipment, particularly those capable of ensuring efficient service provision and support. Companies that specialise in home medical treatment services and that can manage comprehensive customer support, equipment installation, and maintenance are well-suited to compete in such procurements. As the award is directed towards an existing supplier, firms with the requisite qualifications and experience in the healthcare sector may be well-positioned to engage in future competitive procedures once the existing contract period concludes.
