Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process conducted by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has been completed. It focused on the supply of biomass wood chips and pellets under the title "AW Supply of Biomass 2", targeting the wood fuels industry category. The procurement followed a restricted procedure and was carried out through a mini competition off the YPO DPS-1080. Two contracts, titled "Lot 1 - Supply of Wood Chips" and "Lot 2 - Supply of Wood Pellets," were awarded in October 2025 to Biosol Renewables UK Ltd and AMP Biomass Fuel Ltd T/A AMP Clean Energy, respectively. The locations for delivery were in Wales, UKL region. The total value of these contracts amounted to approximately £1,578,188 GBP.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in renewable energy, particularly those involved in the supply of biomass fuels. The NHS Wales contract underlines an emerging market for sustainable fuel solutions in the public sector. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality, cost-effective biomass solutions can leverage this contract to build a reputation and secure future governmental and institutional contracts. The YPO's framework illustrates a commitment to renewable resources, which could lead to expanded opportunities and collaborations across related areas such as fuel level management and boiler maintenance services.
