Upgrade of the Nurse Call System in Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Prinve Charles Hospital and Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda
Procurement agent: Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board·On behalf of: Velindre University NHS Trust
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) have awarded a direct
contract to The Wandsworth Group Ltd for the provision of IPiN Evolution Nurse Call
System upgrades. This will include the supply, delivery, installation, testing, and
commissioning of systems across multiple sites. The sites covered under this contract are
Prince Charles Hospital, Royal Glamorgan Hospital and Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda.
The direct award is being made under Procurement Act 2023, Schedule 5, section 7(2),
as a change in supplier would result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical
difficulties in operation and maintenance. The existing nurse call infrastructure is
manufactured by The Wandsworth Group Ltd, and upgrading to IPiN Evolution systems
ensures technical compatibility with current wiring, back boxes, and operational protocols.
This approach avoids significant disruption, also Wandsworth Group Ltd is the original
equipment manufacturer and sole provider of IPiN Evolution systems, ensuring
compliance with HTM08-03 standards and continuity of service. Finally, the upgrade is
urgent to maintain safe and reliable nurse call functionality across clinical areas, which is
critical for patient safety and operational efficiency.
