This will reduce downtime, improve operator safety, extend asset lifespan, and provide cost certainty through planned maintenance rather than reactive repairs.The department were looking to establish a long-term maintenance arrangement through a contract with an initial term of 24 months, with the option to extend for a further 12 months, subject to the supplier delivering services that are satisfactory and fully compliant with contractual and regulatory requirements. The overall objective was to secure a reliable supplier capable of delivering consistent service quality, maintaining ongoing compliance, and supporting the department’s operational needs over the duration of the contract.Procurement Services and the department undertook a strategic review to mitigate potential risks to the contract, collaboratively developing a robust specification aligned with the department’s requirements, including realistic timeframes and clear service expectations. In addition, Procurement Services completed comprehensive market research to ensure that the tender process selected was both appropriate and fully compliant. From this it was established that the most appropriate route to Market was via an Open Tender.Procurement Services commenced the process by issuing a UK2 Preliminary Market Engagement Notice to obtain expression of interest and create awareness of the upcoming Tender. Following this the Open Tender was published on the 5th November 2025 with a closing date of the 2nd December 2025.",

    "description": "NHS Wales Shared Services (NWSSP) Supply Chain division are looking to implement a maintenance contract to cover all owned Manual Handling Equipment. It is important that maintenance and inspections are conducted to minimise the likelihood of failure in service through failure models, corrosion and wear.\nRegulation 5 of PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and good repair.  Where appropriate, to ensure good health and safety, maintenance should be carried out in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. The maintenance frequency should take into consideration any extended period of activity or inactivity and the environment (heat, cold, etc).  Inspections must be carried out at suitable intervals between thorough examinations.  Inspections must ensure that the good condition of equipment is maintained and that any deterioration can be detected and remedied in good time.",
