## Summary

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured repair and maintenance services for Wassenburg Drying Cabinets at Neath Port Talbot Hospital. The cabinets provide controlled drying and HEPA-filtered storage for flexible endoscopes. The maintenance requirement supports equipment reliability, patient safety and compliance with decontamination standards, while reducing infection risks and the likelihood of downtime delaying procedures. This is a specialist healthcare equipment maintenance requirement, focused on Wassenburg cabinets used in endoscope decontamination and storage. The arrangement was made through NHS Supply Chain with Wassenburg Limited, the selected supplier. The work is delivered at the Health Board’s hospital site in Neath Port Talbot, supporting clinical service delivery through continued availability of the equipment.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Wassenburg Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 for £169,342.04. It covers a 60-month maintenance period, expressed in the procurement as 1,800 days. The requirement was procured as a services contract for repair and maintenance. The single lot covered maintenance of Wassenburg Drying Cabinets at Neath Port Talbot Hospital. The contracting authority was Swansea Bay University Health Board, with the arrangement made through NHS Supply Chain. The contract record was subsequently amended to identify Swansea Bay University Health Board as the contracting authority.

For suppliers assessing future healthcare equipment maintenance work, this award demonstrates a buyer’s need for specialist support for drying cabinets used with flexible endoscopes. A credible competitor would need practical capability with Wassenburg equipment, including planned and responsive maintenance that preserves controlled drying and HEPA-filtered storage. Experience of healthcare decontamination environments would be important, because equipment reliability affects patient safety, infection-risk reduction, regulatory compliance and the continuity of clinical procedures. Suppliers should be able to maintain equipment in a hospital setting and show that they can reduce downtime and protect service delivery. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that a specialist business with focused manufacturer and healthcare-equipment expertise can satisfy this type of requirement.
