## Summary

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board procured SunChip 2 Open Set single-use consumable sets for open HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) procedures carried out by its General Surgery Directorate. The sets are designed for use with the Gamida SunChip 2 HIPEC system already installed by the Health Board. This is a medical consumables requirement, covering proprietary components manufactured for exclusive use with that system. The consumables are needed to maintain equipment compatibility, patient safety and compliance with the manufacturer’s intended use. Delivery is for the Health Board’s service in Cardiff and Vale. The procurement comprises one requirement and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was directed to Gamida SA, a French supplier, through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2028, with signature scheduled for 7 September 2026. The award concerns one lot for the SunChip 2 Open Set consumables. The stated basis for using a direct award is that the products are proprietary, made exclusively for the installed Gamida SunChip 2 system, and that no alternative compatible consumables were identified. The requirement was evaluated as a goods procurement for medical consumables.

This procurement shows established demand from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for specialist, single-use consumables supporting open HIPEC procedures. A credible future supplier would need to provide SunChip 2 Open Sets that are genuinely compatible with the Gamida SunChip 2 system and suitable for clinical use within the General Surgery Directorate. The requirement favours the manufacturer or an authorised supply route for these proprietary products, rather than a general medical consumables distributor. Suppliers would also need to demonstrate that their products support patient safety, regulatory compliance and the manufacturer’s intended use. The procurement was below threshold and suitable for SMEs, indicating a focused specialist supply requirement rather than a large, multi-service contract.

Gamida SunChip 2 Open Sets are proprietary consumables manufactured for exclusive use with the installed Gamida SunChip 2 HIPEC system.
