## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the tender process for a contract concerning the maintenance of surgical equipment. This procurement pertains to high-risk medical devices owned by Carl Zeiss located in Bronglais, Glangwili, and Prince Philip Hospitals. The procurement method used was direct, categorised below the competition threshold. This maintenance contract, effective from 1 March 2026 to 28 February 2029, aims to ensure equipment reliability, patient safety, and regulatory compliance through preventive maintenance, corrective repairs, and access to loan equipment if necessary. Located in Cardiff, this initiative falls under repair and maintenance services, with Carl Zeiss Ltd as the supplier. The contract is active and valued at £31,123.20, with a total gross amount of £37,347.84.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses focused on high-risk medical equipment maintenance and repair services, particularly those with expertise in providing manufacturer-supported preventive measures and diagnostics. Large scale companies like Carl Zeiss Ltd, already established in the medical sector, are well-suited to collaborate effectively within this framework to minimise equipment downtime, thus supporting efficient surgical procedures and enhancing overall patient care delivery. Businesses aiming to enter or expand within the healthcare maintenance sector, particularly those focused on innovation and reliability, will find this contract pertinent to gaining insight and fostering growth in partnership with public authorities such as NHS Wales.

## Notice

This is a new requirement for the maintenance contract of surgical equipment owned by Carl Zeiss located at Bronglais, Glangwili and Prince Philip Hospitals. As high-risk medical equipment, these devices must be maintained under a formal regime to ensure patient safety, regulatory compliance, and equipment reliability. The contract provides manufacturer-supported preventive maintenance, remote diagnostics, corrective repairs including parts and consumables, software updates, and access to loan equipment where required, ensuring prompt return to service and minimising disruption to surgical procedures. Without this contract, equipment downtime could increase, leading to delays or cancellations and directly impacting patient care and service delivery across the Health Board.
