Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, commissioned design and consultancy services for a rooftop solar photovoltaic system and battery energy storage system at IP5 in Newport. The requirement covers project initiation and site review, electrical and structural design, integration with existing building systems, support with the grid connection, planning advice, tender documentation, cost estimates and CDM Principal Designer duties during the design phase. This is infrastructure works consultancy, combining renewable-energy, building, electrical and structural engineering expertise. The work is for a specific site in Newport, with the appointed consultant expected to coordinate the technical design and associated advice needed to develop the solar and storage project through its design and procurement stages.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award under the SEWTAPS-2021 framework. The selected supplier is Ove Arup & Partners Limited. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and has an awarded value of £49,590. The underlying framework used a restricted procedure and was divided into consultancy lots; this requirement was handled under the multi-disciplinary lot. For that lot, the stated award basis was price. The award is recorded as active. The framework’s multi-disciplinary contract has a stated duration of 2,160 days, although the call-off award itself does not state a separate duration. The published outcome therefore concerns a single awarded commission rather than an open competition for new suppliers.

This requirement shows demand for an integrated consultant able to take a rooftop solar and battery-storage project from early site review through design and tender preparation. A credible competitor would need in-house or coordinated electrical and structural engineering, experience integrating new energy systems with existing buildings, and the ability to support grid-connection and planning requirements. It would also need to produce cost estimates and procurement documentation, understand construction delivery, and carry out the CDM Principal Designer role during design. The award through a multi-disciplinary professional-services framework indicates that framework access, strong coordination across technical disciplines and experience delivering public-sector construction consultancy are commercially relevant. Firms with renewable-energy design capability and suitable building-project governance would be well placed when comparable work returns to this buyer.
