This contract is for the maintenance and repair of all patient hoists across the Cardiff and Vale Health Board estate. Patient hoists are a vital piece of equipment for all sites as they allow clinical staff to lift and transfer patients with limited mobility. This improves patient safety and helps to increase the efficiency in which tasks can be performed.
Upon review it was found only the original manufacturer of the hoists could compliantly undertake the maintenance and therefore this contract has been directly awarded, via the NHS Supply Chain framework Maintenance, Repair and Calibration of Medical Equipment (2021/S000-021535)

- Why no open competition
The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator due to absence of competition for technical reasons
- Published justification
There was no prior call for competition as this contract could only be awarded to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). If this contract was awarded to a different supplier then, the safety of the devices may be compromised, the warranty on all equipment would become void and the Health Board may no longer be complying with all necessary regulations.
