## Summary

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board purchased a replacement high-fidelity medical training manikin, a simulator used for clinical training. The requirement is for one manikin, with delivery to Wrexham Maelor Hospital. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. The stated purchase is for a high-fidelity manikin; the lot description separately refers to an anaesthetic machine for use within the MRI scanner at the hospital, so the published scope contains conflicting equipment descriptions. The procurement is categorised as goods and relates to training simulation equipment. The requirement was handled through an NHS Supply Chain framework for medical simulation devices and technologies.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SIM & SKILLS LIMITED. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and is active, with a value of £37,015.66. No contract period or award date is recorded. The Health Board’s description says the purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain Medical Simulation Devices and Technologies framework. The method is described as a direct award without prior publication of a competition, using that framework. The lot is marked cancelled, although the linked award and contract are active. Evaluation was price-based. One bid was recorded for the lot, submitted electronically; it came from a non-EU supplier. The contract does not reserve options for additional purchases.

This award demonstrates demand from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for high-fidelity clinical simulation equipment, with use identified at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. A supplier seeking to compete when the requirement next returns would need to provide a suitable medical training simulator and be positioned to supply through the NHS Supply Chain framework for medical simulation devices and technologies. The direct award route used here means framework access was central to this purchase; the only recorded bid was submitted through that route. Price was the stated evaluation basis, so a credible supplier would need to offer competitive pricing as well as equipment that meets the clinical training requirement. The lot description also mentions an anaesthetic machine for MRI use, so suppliers should establish which equipment is required when the Health Board next buys.
