## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, acting on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board, has recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of three Apheresis Spectra Optia machines with maintenance and consumables, under the main procurement category of goods in the medical consumables industry. The tender titled "Purchase of Apheresis Spectra Optia machines with maintenance and consumables" was cancelled. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement process included a standstill period before awarding the contract.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses involved in supplying medical consumables, especially those experienced in providing apheresis services and blood-transfusion devices. The specific focus on the purchase of specialized medical equipment for a high-profile healthcare programme in South Wales indicates a need for reliable and accurate technology. Businesses offering maintenance services for medical devices and consumables may find this opportunity particularly relevant due to the five-year maintenance contract. The procurement, although cancelled, highlights the importance of timely and efficient delivery of essential medical equipment to enhance healthcare services in Wales.

## 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 purchase of three Apheresis Spectra Optia machines with maintenance and consumables.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The South Wales Blood and Marrow Transplant Programme (SWBMT) serves adults and children within the catchment area of mid, west and south Wales, comprising six of the seven Welsh Local Health Boards (LHBs), with a combined population of approximately 2.4 million and accounting for over three-quarters of the Welsh population. The Children's oncology unit at the Children's Hospital for Wales (CHfW) is the only unit in Wales that provides treatment for children with complex haematological conditions (such as sickle cell anaemia or treatments requiring cell collection for re-infusion post chemotherapy). The unit works closely in partnership with the adult haematology department as the services are small and the processes required to manage the paediatric conditions are carried out rarely. Therefore education, training and maintaining competence are dependent on working in partnership with the adult service. The three Spectra Optia machines required to carry out apheresis, cell collection or cell processing procedures in this speciality are now of an age where they require replacement. The machine carries out highly specialist processes so they have to be reliable and accurate. This notice is for the purchase of three Spectra Optia machines including maintenance for up to five years (after the one year warranty) and consumables.

Options: Up to five years for maintenance (after the one year warranty) and consumables.
