## Summary

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board procured two positive-pressure laminar-flow pharmaceutical isolators for the Pharmacy department at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. The equipment falls within medical equipment, pharmaceutical and personal-care products. Delivery is to Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, North Wales. The procurement was managed through NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, acting as the buyer and central purchasing body. The requirement concerned specialist aseptic pharmacy equipment rather than general medical supplies. It was linked to the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub Aseptic Isolators and Cabinets framework, indicating a framework-based purchase focused on isolators and related cabinet provision for controlled pharmaceutical use.

The procurement has been awarded. A direct award was made without prior publication of a competition, using the East of England Collaborative Procurement Hub Aseptic Isolators and Cabinets framework under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The stated rationale allowed direct award where the selected supplier was considered the only supplier able to meet specific requirements, including consistency, standardisation, governance, tailored reporting, training, organisational learning or existing organisational knowledge. AMERCARE LIMITED was awarded the requirement, with one bid recorded, submitted electronically by an SME. The contract value is £121,262. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and is recorded as active. Price was the award criterion. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled.

This procurement demonstrates demand from an NHS Wales health board for specialist positive-pressure laminar-flow pharmaceutical isolators used in an aseptic pharmacy environment. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need to provide this type of specialist equipment and understand the operational controls associated with pharmaceutical isolators. Credibility would also depend on showing that the equipment and associated support can deliver consistency and standardisation within the pharmacy service, with suitable governance arrangements. The buyer’s direct-award rationale also highlights the value placed on tailored reporting, supplier-held organisational knowledge, training and education, and continuity of organisational learning. Businesses with established expertise in aseptic isolators and cabinets, and the capacity to support their ongoing organisational use, are therefore the closest comparator suppliers for this requirement.
