BCU-STA-63056 Purchase of Blood Analyser for Glan Clwyd Hospital Theatres

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board intends to direct award a contract for the supply of a blood analyser into Glan Clwyd Hospital Theatres following a successful equipment trial. This will promote standardisation in both equipment and practice, as this specific analyser is already in use at Wrexham Maelor Hospital Theatres. This is a specialist blood analyser used for a specific procedure and will assist in reduction of waiting lists for this specialty. The Health Board are not aware of any alternative equipment which can provide the equivalent level of analysis for this procedure.

A voluntary standstill period of 8 working days will be observed from the publication date of this notice.
