## Summary

The procurement process, titled "OR1 Theatre upgrade," was managed by the Swansea Bay University Health Board, headquartered at 1 Talbot Gateway, Baglan Energy Park, Port Talbot, UK. This process falls under the industry category of medical equipment and specifically relates to upgrading theatre capital. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract for this direct procurement, executed below threshold without competition, was awarded on 3rd February 2026. The contract's timeline spans from 17th February 2026 to 31st March 2026, ensuring continuity and avoiding operational disruptions within the UK's healthcare regime as the systems from Storz are already integrated into their environment.

This tender presents potential business growth opportunities, particularly for large businesses involved in medical equipment supply that can provide comprehensive and integrated solutions. Companies such as KARL STORZ ENDOSCOPY (UK) LIMITED, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrate that having existing compatible systems in place is advantageous. This procurement approach highlights opportunities for firms that can supply complex, high-value goods and services within the healthcare sector, specifically those with the capacity to facilitate smooth integration into existing operational frameworks.

## Notice

OR1 Theatre upgrade, capital purchase. Storz's systems and processes are already fully embedded within our operational environment. Moving to a different supplier would require significant reconfiguration and introduce compatibility risks. Replacing them would require a mobilisation period that could compromise continuity and operational performance.
