## Summary

The Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board, represented by NHS Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services, recently completed a procurement process for Endobronchial Valves. The procurement aimed to provide valves and tubes for the Cardiothoracic Department's Emphysema treatment at the Cardiff and Vale University Hospital of Wales. This goods procurement was conducted through a limited procurement method without prior competition, resulting in an 8-year contract being awarded to Pulmonx International Sarl. The contract, valued at £472,224 GBP, was signed on 23rd May 2023.

This tender for Endobronchial Valves presents opportunities for suppliers in the valves and tubes industry, particularly those offering unique healthcare solutions. Businesses with expertise in providing medical devices for lung volume reduction surgeries or similar pulmonary interventions are well-suited to compete. The buying organisation, Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board, sought to improve lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life, creating a niche market for suppliers offering such specialised healthcare products. The presence of strict regulations and established supplier relationships also suggests potential for long-term partnerships in the healthcare sector.
