## Summary

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board purchased an anaesthetic machine for use with the MRI scanner at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. The requirement is for medical equipment that can provide anaesthesia in an MRI environment, where equipment must be suitable for use alongside scanning. The goods were delivered to the hospital in Wrexham. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the purchase for the Health Board. The procurement was made through the NHS Supply Chain framework for anaesthesia machines, related accessories and services. This requirement is specifically for an anaesthetic machine for the MRI scanner, rather than a wider hospital equipment package or a general anaesthesia service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Draeger Medical UK Limited. The contract value was £37,015.66. It was signed on 26 August 2026; the release records no contract period or award date. The Health Board made a direct award through the NHS Supply Chain framework for anaesthesia machines, related accessories and services, using a procedure without a prior competition. There was one lot, but it is marked cancelled even though an active award and contract are recorded against it. The stated evaluation basis was price. One bid was recorded, including one electronic bid; none were recorded as SME bids. The direct award was made under the framework and described as permitted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

For suppliers tracking future demand from this buyer, this award shows a specific requirement for MRI-compatible anaesthesia equipment at Wrexham Maelor Hospital, sourced through the NHS Supply Chain framework. The successful supplier was an established medical equipment company, and the single recorded bid indicates that this purchase was made through a narrow framework route rather than a broad competition. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply an anaesthetic machine suitable for use in an MRI scanner environment and be positioned to participate through the relevant NHS Supply Chain framework. Capability in general anaesthetic devices alone may not be sufficient if the equipment is not appropriate for MRI use. The recorded price-based evaluation also makes a competitive and clearly evidenced offer important.
