Opportunity overview

Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) has identified a requirement to purchase an Oral Performance Instrument for use within the Speech and Language Therapy Department. The Iowa Oral Performance Instrument is a clinical tool used to measure and improve the strength of the tongue and lips. Procurement of this device will support the assessment and treatment of patients with Dysphagia (swallowing disorders), assist with speech therapy interventions, and aid rehabilitation following illness or injury. The device will enable clinicians to objectively measure oral muscle strength and deliver targeted therapy programmes, supporting improved patient outcomes and enhanced clinical assessment within the service.Due to the IOPI Pro 3.1 being regarded as clinical standard the Health Board the decision has been made to publish a Transparency Notice in order to direct award the contract to Severn Healthcare Technologies Limited. Severn Healthcare Technologies Limited are the only UK distributer and training provider of the IOPI Pro.
