## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract to The Wandsworth Group Ltd for upgrading the IPiN Evolution Nurse Call System. The contract covers the enhancement of nurse call systems at Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Prince Charles Hospital, and Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda. This procurement process, classified under the direct procurement method, aimed to ensure compatibility with existing systems without the uncertainties of a competitive process due to the technical complexities involved in changing suppliers. The contract period is set from 9th February 2026 to 1st June 2026, with a gross value of GBP 727,391.84. This direct award is critical as it mitigates operational disruptions, ensuring patient safety and continuity of service.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and technological systems integration, specifically those with expertise in medical communications infrastructure. Companies that manufacture or provide support services for nurse call systems, especially those ensuring compliance with health technical memoranda like HTM08-03, could significantly benefit from such projects. Large-scale businesses aligned with hospital infrastructure and safety systems enhancements will find this contract advantageous for expanding their portfolios within the healthcare sector, strengthening their presence through strategic partnerships.

## Notice

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) have awarded a direct contract to The Wandsworth Group Ltd for the provision of IPiN Evolution Nurse Call System upgrades. This will include the supply, delivery, installation, testing, and commissioning of systems across multiple sites. The sites covered under this contract are Prince Charles Hospital, Royal Glamorgan Hospital and Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda. The direct award is being made under Procurement Act 2023, Schedule 5, section 7(2), as a change in supplier would result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance. The existing nurse call infrastructure is manufactured by The Wandsworth Group Ltd, and upgrading to IPiN Evolution systems ensures technical compatibility with current wiring, back boxes, and operational protocols. This approach avoids significant disruption, also Wandsworth Group Ltd is the original equipment manufacturer and sole provider of IPiN Evolution systems, ensuring compliance with HTM08-03 standards and continuity of service. Finally, the upgrade is urgent to maintain safe and reliable nurse call functionality across clinical areas, which is critical for patient safety and operational efficiency.
