Interested suppliers are encouraged to participate in the market research questionnaire by 6th December 2024, with a future notice expected by 10th January 2025. This procurement initiative aims to source robust, easy-to-use analysers with full operative connectivity suitable for diverse clinical settings within the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CVUHB), which services approximately 450,000 residents. This tender presents a significant opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers of medical diagnostic equipment, specifically those specialising in biochemical and blood gas analysis technology. Companies with capabilities in delivering small footprint, user-friendly, and high-connectivity medical devices, especially those compliant with stringent IT and cybersecurity protocols, will find this tender particularly aligned to their offerings. By participating, businesses can expand their footprint within the public health sector, providing critical diagnostic tools to CVUHB, thus enhancing their service delivery and market presence in Wales. ## Notice The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CVUHB) is looking to procure blood gas analysers that are robust, easy to use, small footprint, and maintain by end-users, with full operative connectivity for application across a broad variety of clinical settings. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Cardiff & Vale University Health Board is the local NHS Wales health board for Cardiff and its surrounding areas, including the Vale of Glamorgan. It serves approximately 450,000 residents across its primary and secondary care centres, and also offers specialist services on an all-Wales basis, including - but not limited to - paediatrics, renal, and neurology. The Health Board's largest hospital is the University Hospital of Wales, which also incorporates the Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales. University Hospital Llandough is the second largest site (incorporating a dedicated specialist mental health unit, Hafan Y Coed, on its grounds) with smaller community hospitals across the region providing a mix of outpatient and/or specialist services, such as Barry Hospital and Cardiff Royal Infirmary. The technical requirements of the analysers must be configurable on a per-analyte basis to support the respective clinical settings, with appropriate flags and limits as required. The devices must have patient safety and governance features such as operator lockout, QC lockout (in the event of quality control failure or error), tiered operator access (with different rights for different categories of user) and full audit capabilities of the device's use and configuration history. Analysers will also be subject to monthly external quality assurance (EQA) for both blood gas and cooximetry parameters (additional requirements for EQA participation and configuration are included in the tender specification). The analyser must host connectivity functionality and be capable of interfacing to the POCT middleware (Siemens POCCelerator, also known as WPOCT in Wales). This is hosted via Digital Healthcare Wales (DHCW) hardware. The analysers must comply with the Health Board's IT networking, cybersecurity, and GDPR protocols for connection and any remote access functionality, as required. The analysers must be capable of interfacing directly with All Wales Data Management system ( Siemens POC Celerator-WPOCT), irrespective of any additional supplier middleware which may also be available.
