## Summary

The Hywel Dda University Health Board has completed a procurement process for the purchase of three Nasendoscopes (HD Video Rhino-Laryngoscope) from KARL STORZ ENDOSCOPY (UK) LIMITED. This contract, valued at £46,280, falls under the industry category of "Endoscopy, endosurgery devices" and aims to enhance patient-centred care within the Outpatient department. The procurement utilised a limited method without prior competition, as governed by the NHS Supply Chain's Rigid Endoscopy and Associated Options and Related Services Framework, to avoid compatibility issues with existing equipment. The official completion date for the contract was 10 July 2026, and the project location is detailed as the Hywel Dda University Health Board, UKL14 region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in supplying medical devices, particularly those dealing with specialised endoscopy equipment. It highlights the demand within the public healthcare sector for advanced, compatible medical solutions, making it a potential area of growth for companies with expertise in high-tech medical equipment supply and integration. Although the procurement method was limited to maintain technical compatibility, suppliers with innovative and adaptable medical technologies could find future opportunities in similar tenders from public health organisations looking to upgrade or expand their existing infrastructure.

### Procurement Information

A review of the market was undertaken through the NHS Supply Chain Rigid Endoscopy and Associated Options and Related Services Framework (Ref: 2021/S 000-007768). Whilst alternative nasendoscopes are available within the market, these products were not considered suitable because their use could invalidate existing equipment warranties and compromise the integrity, functionality and operability of the current camera stack systems. The procurement of alternative equipment would therefore require replacement of the existing stack and associated specialist scopes in order to achieve technical compatibility.
