Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board commissioned consultancy services for the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, with procurement activity delivered by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services. The work covers a comprehensive survey and assessment of the hospital’s high- and low-voltage electrical infrastructure, standby generators and associated systems. The consultant must identify critical risks and produce a prioritised upgrade plan with high-level costed solutions aligned with Welsh Health Technical Memoranda. The scope also includes acting as lead designer for approved short-term resilience works, including design specifications, contractor competence assessment, tender documentation, project management, contract administration, site supervision, testing, commissioning and defects-period support. The multidisciplinary team includes electrical, architectural, structural and civil, fire, project and cost engineering, plus CDM principal designer services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated on cost at 60% and quality at 40%; quality required relevant healthcare project experience, key-personnel CVs and evidence of similar engineering and infrastructure resilience schemes. Eight bids were received, including four from SMEs. ETA Projects was awarded the contract on 5 February 2026 for £30,780 excluding VAT, or £36,936 including VAT. The award period runs from 2 March 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 17 March 2026 and records an active contract period from 9 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award indicates a defined requirement for specialist electrical infrastructure resilience consultancy in an NHS hospital setting. A credible future competitor would need strong high- and low-voltage engineering capability, experience surveying ageing hospital power systems, standby generation and single points of failure, and the ability to turn technical findings into prioritised, costed solutions. Healthcare project experience and familiarity with Welsh Health Technical Memoranda would be important. The work also favours a multidisciplinary team able to provide architectural, structural and civil, fire, project and cost management, and CDM principal designer services. Suppliers should be able to lead design through delivery, assess contractor competence, prepare tender documentation, administer contracts, supervise sites and oversee testing, commissioning and defects support. The competition attracted eight bids, showing established supplier interest.
