## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured an advanced electron density phantom for Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff. This is specialist radiotherapy quality-assurance equipment, used for dosimetry verification, treatment-planning validation, system calibration, testing and performance evaluation. Its purpose is to support accurate and safe patient treatment delivery. The requirement falls within radiotherapy, mechanotherapy, electrotherapy and physical-therapy devices. The equipment supports the Trust’s radiotherapy treatment-planning, dosimetry-verification and quality-assurance activities. Suppliers relevant to this requirement include manufacturers, distributors and specialist medical-physics equipment providers with expertise in radiotherapy QA and electron-density measurement or phantom technology.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. It used a limited procedure with an award without prior publication of a competition, through direct call-off from the NHS Supply Chain National Framework Agreement for Radiotherapy Ancillary Devices, including dosimetry, patient-positioning and QA devices. The framework permitted direct award because the supplier met the Trust’s technical requirements. Evaluation was based on quality at 10% and price at 90%. One bid was recorded, from an SME. Xiel Limited was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The active contract value is £28,318.22. The procurement lot itself is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Velindre University NHS Trust’s specialist radiotherapy equipment requirements. A credible competitor would need to supply an advanced electron density phantom suitable for radiotherapy quality assurance, dosimetry verification and treatment-planning validation, with evidence that the equipment can support calibration, testing and performance evaluation of radiotherapy systems. Technical compliance is particularly important because the selected supplier met the Trust’s stated requirements. Suppliers should also understand NHS Supply Chain framework routes for radiotherapy ancillary devices and be able to support a direct call-off where permitted. The single SME bid indicates that a specialist smaller provider can compete, provided it has the relevant product capability, technical assurance and NHS-facing procurement readiness.
