This procurement process is currently in the planning stage with a focus on acquiring manikins that provide real-time, measurable feedback on CPR quality, in line with the Resuscitation Council UK guidance for 2025. The procurement falls under the goods category and involves Welsh devolved regulations. Interested suppliers are encouraged to engage in this process by 11 August 2026. A future notice is expected on 1 September 2026, with the contract period anticipated from 1 October to 1 December 2026. This procurement presents significant business opportunities for suppliers of advanced medical training equipment, particularly those specialising in resuscitation devices. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions, offering precise feedback mechanisms beyond auditory indicators, are well-suited to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in manufacturing or distributing sophisticated resuscitation manikins that align with current clinical guidelines can leverage this opportunity to expand their market presence within the UK healthcare sector. Engaging early in the procurement process can allow businesses to help shape the solution requirements and build strategic relationships with the NHS Trust. ## Notice Velindre University NHS Trust is undertaking a pre-market engagement exercise to inform a future procurement for the provision of Resuscitation Training Manikins to support Basic Life Support (BLS), Immediate Life Support (ILS), and Advanced Life Support (ALS) training programmes. cross all levels of resuscitation training (Basic Life Support (BLS), Immediate Life Support (ILS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS)), the Trust is specifically seeking manikins that provide objective CPR performance feedback. Solutions that rely solely on an auditory chest-click mechanism to indicate compression depth will not be sufficient to meet the Trust's requirements. Suppliers should demonstrate how their equipment provides real-time, measurable feedback on CPR quality, including compression depth, rate, recoil and ventilation performance where applicable. This requirement is considered essential to support compliance with the 2025 Resuscitation Council UK guidance. ### Planning Information If you are interested in participating in this pre-market engagement exercise, please email the Procurement Team with the relevant information relating to your organisation and the proposed solution.
