## Summary

The procurement process involves the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership as the buying organisation, seeking the purchase of an Ophthalmology Visual Electrophysiology System. This activity is categorised under the health industry and is located in Cardiff, UK. The procurement method is classified as a limited process, specifically an award procedure without prior publication. The contract was signed on 10 January 2022, with a value of £150,000. The authorisation from the Welsh Government is aimed at enhancing the neuro-physiology unit at the NHS Wales University Eye Care Centre, with a critical delivery deadline set for 31 March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the medical equipment sector, particularly those specialising in neuro-physiology and ophthalmic care. Companies that manufacture hardware and software to support clinical applications, as well as those who can offer maintenance support services, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, as this procurement is tied to public health initiatives in Wales, businesses engaged in similar technological advancements and operational compatibility with existing NHS systems will find a strong potential to grow their business through participation in future tenders.

### Procurement Information

Due to the critical requirements outlined in the description within this notice, the Health Board have determined that the Espion device from Diagnosys is the only supplier who meet the criteria. Diagnosys are a market leading organisation in the provision of hardware and software to support neuro-physiology for eye care pathology and is already fully operational in the University Hospital Wales.

The Diagnosys Espion will provide; - 100% compatibility in report output. - Ability to review comparative data outputs on a patient to identify changes in their sight, and if applicable what clinical action is required. Additional backend storage. - Avoidance in the development of new interfaces and the impact on the delay service being available to the patients of Wales. Welsh Government funding is only available within 2021/22 and therefore, the awarded supplier must be able to deliver the equipment by the 31st March 2022. Based on the details within this notice, the Health Board is applying a 10 day standstill prior to awarding a contract to Diagnosys.
