## Summary

Swansea Bay University Health Board bought TauroPace under a volume and publication commitment intended to secure enhanced pricing. The award is for goods, classified broadly as medical equipment, pharmaceuticals and personal care products; the procurement data does not identify the specific product or quantities. Swansea Bay University Health Board is the buyer, with NHS Wales acting as the managing organisation. Delivery is in Wales. The requirement was arranged as a single lot, covering the whole purchase. This is a procurement of healthcare-related supplies rather than a service or construction project. Suppliers whose products and commercial arrangements match the TauroPace requirement are the most directly relevant; the published description links the purchase to volume commitment and product publication as the basis for pricing benefits.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to KIMAL PLC. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The buyer awarded one lot; no evaluation criteria are reported. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2027. Its value is £21,018.40 excluding VAT, or £25,222.08 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is active. The award data does not give a separate award date. The stated purpose was to secure enhanced pricing through a volume and publication commitment for TauroPace; the published award information classifies the goods only in broad healthcare-products terms, without specifying quantities or detailed product specifications.

For suppliers seeking comparable NHS Wales work, this award shows demand for a TauroPace volume and publication commitment aimed at securing enhanced pricing. A credible competitor would need to supply the relevant healthcare product and offer a commercial model that supports committed purchasing volumes and product publication in exchange for favourable pricing. The buyer used limited competition below the applicable threshold, so familiarity with the requirements of a focused, restricted competition would be relevant. KIMAL PLC, a small or medium-sized supplier, was selected, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large provider. The scale is a discrete, single-lot goods contract for one health board; suppliers with the product fit and capacity to support this type of commitment are the closest match.
