## Summary

This public procurement process, managed by Public Health Wales (PHW), involves the provision of newborn bloodspot screening sample cards. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically pathology services (CPV code 85111800), and takes place within the Wales region (UKL). PHW is acquiring these essential medical devices to screen newborns for serious health conditions at the University Hospital of Wales. The tender, identified by "2425-020-STA-PHW," is in its award stage, with the contract signed on 4th September 2024. The procurement method used was limited, awarded without prior publication due to the critical nature of the service and the necessity of using a consistent supplier, REVVITY (UK) LIMITED, with a contract value of £135,156.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in medical devices, particularly those experienced in producing diagnostic equipment for neonatal health. While the contract is currently awarded to REVVITY (UK) LIMITED due to their specific expertise and existing relationship with PHW, it highlights a niche market for companies aiming to develop similar healthcare products. Larger enterprises with capacity for high-quality manufacturing aligned with strict healthcare standards would be well-suited to explore and potentially engage in future procurement opportunities within this specialised sector.
