This procurement falls under the medical consumables category within the health industry and was based in Cardiff, UK. The contract, awarded through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, is valued at £300,000 and includes a minimum standstill period of 10 calendar days following the award decision, which was made on 13th May 2022. This contract is anticipated to provide essential maintenance and consumables for the Roche Cobas 6000 analyzers over the next two to three years. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in medical consumables and maintenance services. Companies with expertise in providing high-quality medical equipment and related consumables, particularly those familiar with Roche products, would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders within this framework. The ongoing requirement for upgrades and training included in the contract could also encourage participation from companies offering innovative solutions in laboratory medicine and health technology, enabling them to leverage their offerings to grow their business within the public health sector. ## Notice NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership who are hosted by Velindre NHS Trust acting on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board wish to inform the market that they intend to award a contract for the provision of Maintenance and Consumables for Weqas' Roche Cobas 6000 (Cobas c 501 and Cobas e 601) analysers. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Weqas is one of the largest External Quality Assessment providers in the UK, with over 50 years of experience in delivering global Quality Assurance Programmes in Laboratory Medicine. The contract will include; - provision of consumables for Roche Cobas 6000 (Cobas c 501 and Cobas e 601). It should be noted that it is anticipated that some consumable will be upgraded to newer versions during the life of the contract; the old versions of such consumables are expected to be seamlessly swapped out for the new versions at no extra cost. - Maintenance as an annual fully comprehensive service - Training days for up to 5 Weqas staff on the use of the Cobas 6000. ### Procurement Information In 2017, Weqas undertook a procurement to purchase a General Chemistry analyser, consumables and maintenance which was awarded to Roche for the Cobas 6000 analyser. Weqas require a new contract for maintenance and consumables for the next two to three years until such time that the analyser will no longer be operational. Due to the analyser requiring specialist knowledge to maintain and repair, training required for new staff by Roche on their equipment as well as ensuring Roche parts are available and cost effective, the Health Board is issuing this notice applying a 10 day standstill period prior to award of a two year contract with a one year extension option. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012500-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 May 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £300,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF14 4HH | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Heath | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff North | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33140000 - Medical consumables ## Release History - 13 May 2022 at 13:28 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012500-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.procurement.wales.nhs.uk - http://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0221 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
