Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board purchased an agricultural tractor for use in the Bridgend region. The requirement is for a physical agricultural machine rather than maintenance, hire or associated professional services. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the procurement for the Health Board. Delivery activity covered locations in Bridgend and the wider Cwm Taf Morgannwg area of Wales. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the tractor classification identified under CPV code 16700000. The awarded item was described more broadly as agricultural machinery. This is relevant to tractor dealers, agricultural machinery suppliers and manufacturers able to supply suitable equipment to a Welsh NHS organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. A and M Group was selected as supplier on 15 January 2026. The award value was £60,000 excluding VAT and £75,000 including VAT. The award contract period ran from 28 January 2026 to 29 January 2027. The contract was signed on 10 March 2026 and is active. Its recorded contract period is 31 March 2026 to 31 March 2026, with a contract value of £62,500 excluding VAT and £75,000 including VAT. The single lot was suitable for SMEs. Evaluation weighted cost at 60% and technical quality at 40%. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. The contracting authority was subsequently changed through an amendment.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board for agricultural machinery, procured through an open competition and won by an SME. Suppliers competing when the requirement returns will need the ability to provide a tractor that meets the buyer’s technical specification, alongside a commercially competitive offer. The evaluation weighting shows that price is important but that technical quality accounts for a substantial part of the decision, so bidders should be able to evidence equipment performance, suitability, reliability and compliance with the stated requirements. Credible competitors are likely to include tractor dealerships, agricultural machinery manufacturers, specialist plant suppliers and SMEs with established distribution or servicing capability in Wales. Experience supplying public-sector or similarly structured organisations may also help demonstrate dependable fulfilment.
