Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process focuses on the Hywel Dda University Health Board's contract for the maintenance of Autronica Fire Alarm and Detection Systems at Withybush General Hospital in Carmarthen, Wales. This project falls under the "services" category, specifically repair and maintenance services. Managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, the procurement follows a direct method due to its below-threshold value, bypassing competition requirements. The award phase has been completed, and the contract commenced on 1st January 2026, extending until 31st December 2028. The contracting authority adheres to both central government and Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender offers business growth opportunities primarily for firms specialising in niche fire alarm systems with expertise in closed protocol operations. Given the unique nature of the Autronica system, businesses possessing specific knowledge in its software maintenance can leverage their exclusive capabilities to secure contracts. Large-scale entities, particularly those experienced in servicing equipment distributed from overseas manufacturers like Norway, can position themselves as ideal candidates in such specialised fields, offering targeted expertise vital for fulfilling contract requirements.
