## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured two LB147 hand, foot and clothing contamination monitors for Swansea Bay University Health Board. These instruments monitor contamination on hands, footwear and clothing, supporting contamination control in the health service. The requirement is for medical monitoring equipment, classified under medical equipment and related products (CPV 33000000). Delivery is to the United Kingdom; the buying health board is based in Port Talbot, Wales. The monitors are intended to work with equipment and systems already in use by the Health Board, so technical compatibility is central to the requirement. This is a defined equipment purchase rather than a wider service or works contract.

The procurement is complete and the award has been made to Berthold Technologies UK Ltd. The estimated awarded value is £46,935 excluding VAT (£56,322 including VAT). The contract period runs from 16 October 2026 to 19 October 2026, with signature scheduled for 16 October 2026. The buyer used a direct award, or Single Tender Action, without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. Its stated reason was that the monitors needed to be compatible with existing equipment and systems, and another supplier would not meet the Health Board’s technical interoperability requirements. The procurement was divided into one lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was recorded as pending; the overall tender status is complete.

For suppliers assessing future demand from this Health Board, this award shows a specific requirement for LB147 hand, foot and clothing contamination monitors that integrate with equipment and systems already in operation. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate technical interoperability with that installed base, as well as the ability to supply the specified monitors. The buyer’s rationale indicates that compatibility is decisive: a technically similar alternative would not be suitable if it could not work with the existing setup. The purchase was small and tightly defined, rather than a broad equipment programme, and the single lot was considered suitable for SMEs. Berthold Technologies UK Ltd was selected through a direct award on those compatibility grounds, so future suppliers would need persuasive evidence of equivalent integration and operational fit.
