- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
In 2017, Weqas undertook a procurement to purchase a General Chemistry analyser, consumables and maintenance which was awarded to Roche for the Cobas 6000 analyser. Weqas require a new contract for maintenance and consumables for the next two to three years until such time that the analyser will no longer be operational.
Due to the analyser requiring specialist knowledge to maintain and repair, training required for new staff by Roche on their equipment as well as ensuring Roche parts are available and cost effective, the Health Board is issuing this notice applying a 10 day standstill period prior to award of a two year contract with a one year extension option.
- Review procedure
NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board will allow a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period between notifying the award decision and awarding the contract.
Publisher note: The value stated in this notice is the higher ceiling contract figure and may not be fully utilised as this will be dependent upon the volume of consumables ordered. (WA Ref:121310)
