Shandon Diagnostics Equipment Maintenance Award | Swansea Bay UHB

Tender information last checkedLast checked 16 Oct 2026, 14:08.

Opportunity overview

Swansea Bay University Health Board requires the ongoing maintenance and support of Shandon Diagnostics Equipment located at Singleton Hospital. The proposed contract will provide continued preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, technical support and access to replacement parts where required, ensuring the equipment remains safe, reliable and operational throughout the contract period. The equipment is critical to the continued delivery of healthcare services and ongoing maintenance is required to minimise downtime, maintain compliance with manufacturer recommendations and support patient care. Following review, the Health Board has confirmed there are no current plans to replace the equipment during the proposed contract term and therefore a maintenance arrangement remains necessary. The requirement has been reviewed against the available procurement routes, and it has been determined that the proposed approach will be progressed via a Single Tender Action (STA), supported by the completion and approval of the relevant STA Form. The proposed route provides the appropriate mechanism to procure the required services in accordance with the applicable procurement requirements and the organisation’s established governance and approval processes.
