## Summary

The Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB) has completed a procurement process for the supply of ultrasound machines, specifically the Sonosite ST Ultrasound System, under a direct award procedure. This contract, valued at £506,000 and awarded on 24th June 2026, falls within the medical consumables industry category. It was procured through a framework agreement, as allowed under Directive 2014/24/EU, without prior publication in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). The procurement method was limited, and the process did not involve a competitive tender due to its direct award nature. The contract addresses the needs across various healthcare settings within the location coded as UKL18, which includes the region encompassing Swansea Bay. The procurement stage has already reached completion, and the associated lot was unfortunately cancelled due to specific internal decisions. The procurement was initiated and handled by SBUHB, located in Port Talbot, United Kingdom, with Fujifilm Sonosite Ltd identified as the supplier.

This procurement provides opportunities for businesses within the medical equipment sector, particularly those capable of supplying high-quality ultrasound systems and peripheral consumables. Given that the procurement process involved a direct award under an existing framework, businesses that have established relationships within such frameworks would be well-positioned for future opportunities. Additionally, companies focusing on medical technology and innovation may find this an illustrative case of the strategic procurement methods occurring within public health institutions in the UK, showcasing potential growth avenues for similar contracts in the future. The contract prioritised criteria such as compliance with specification requirements, durability, and cost-efficiency, underscoring the importance for businesses to demonstrate quality and value for money in their offerings.
