## Summary

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board bought two Biocon 700-S bladder scanners, ultrasound equipment used to measure bladder volume. The scanners are for use at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Wales. The procurement was managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. The requirement was for the supply of the two named scanner units, rather than a broader equipment or clinical services contract. The purchase was made through the NHS Supply Chain Bladder Scanners 2022 framework, which provides the route for this requirement. The buyer’s stated purpose was to acquire two Biocon 700-S scanners for the health board.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to de Smit Medical Systems Ltd. The contract value is £13,000. It was signed on 21 October 2026; no contract end date or duration is recorded. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, making a direct award under the NHS Supply Chain Bladder Scanners 2022 framework. The stated basis was that the framework route is permitted under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The award criteria listed price. The procurement was arranged as one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published data does not explain this discrepancy. One bid was recorded for the lot.

This award demonstrates demand from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for bladder-scanning equipment, specifically Biocon 700-S units, for use at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need to supply these scanners and be able to meet the health board’s purchasing route through the NHS Supply Chain Bladder Scanners 2022 framework. The single recorded bid indicates that this award attracted one bidder, but does not establish the level of competition for future purchases. The awarded supplier was de Smit Medical Systems Ltd. Credibility for a comparable requirement rests on the ability to supply the named medical equipment through the relevant framework; the procurement does not set out further technical, accreditation, staffing or service requirements.
