## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is planning an all-Wales renewal of an agreement for medical syringes and needles. The product range includes hypodermic safety needles, standard hypodermic needles, blunt-fill and blunt-filter needles, amniocentesis needles, luer-slip and luer-lock syringes, catheter-tip syringes, pre-filled syringes, insulin safety pen needles, insulin pen needles, acupuncture needles and NRFit needle products. The goods will be supplied for NHS Wales health boards across Wales, including Aneurin Bevan, Betsi Cadwaladr, Cardiff and Vale, Cwm Taf Morgannwg, Hywel Dda, Powys and Swansea Bay. The main categories are syringes and medical needles, including anaesthesia and epidural needles.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is a pre-market engagement exercise for a future tender; it is not an invitation to submit a bid. The buyer expects to use a framework agreement, with one planned lot. The framework contract period is expected to run from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2031. The estimated value is £2,872,676.48 excluding VAT, or £3,447,211.78 including VAT. The buyer has scheduled engagement contact until 25 August 2026 and welcomes contact about the planned renewal throughout the engagement process and until the future tender is published. The planned lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award decision has been made.

This will suit manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-device suppliers able to provide a broad range of clinical syringes and needles for NHS use. Relevant suppliers may offer standard and safety-engineered hypodermic products, specialist needles for anaesthesia, epidural procedures and amniocentesis, insulin and acupuncture products, and syringes in the specified connection types. Businesses with established supply, quality control, product identification and distribution arrangements for healthcare consumables should monitor the future tender and use the engagement stage to explain their range and delivery capability. The buyer has expressly identified the planned lot as suitable for SMEs, so smaller suppliers may be well placed to participate, particularly where they can supply a defined part of the range or work through appropriate distribution arrangements.
