Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board procured accredited ISO 14001:2015 environmental management assessment and certification services. The requirement covers annual assessment, ongoing certification, customer support and maintenance of certification for the health board’s environmental aspects associated with healthcare and clinical services. The certified scope includes Prince Charles Hospital, Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Princess of Wales Hospital, and 31 community hospitals, health centres and clinics. The work is delivered across the health board’s estate in the Cwm Taf Morgannwg area of Wales. This is a specialist environmental certification and assurance service for an NHS organisation, rather than general facilities management or routine environmental consultancy. The requirement also includes adjusting the certification scope when organisational changes occur, subject to prior notification and agreed arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Five bids were received, including five from SMEs. BSI Assurance UK Limited was selected. The award was made on 1 April 2026 for £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 5 May 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2029. There was one lot. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 70% and commercial cost at 30%. Selection required UKAS accreditation for ISO 14001 assessment and certification, ability to complete the initial assessment by 29 June 2026, ongoing support, relevant knowledge and experience in NHS Wales and CTMUHB, and provision to amend the certification scope at agreed pro rata rates. The contracting authority was subsequently changed.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from a large NHS estate for UKAS-accredited ISO 14001 certification, surveillance assessment and environmental management assurance. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need recognised UKAS accreditation for the relevant certification activity, experienced auditors and sufficient capacity to assess acute hospitals, community hospitals, health centres and clinics under one organisational scope. Credible competitors should be able to provide responsive customer support throughout the certification cycle, maintain certification records and manage changes to the certified scope when healthcare services or sites change. Experience with NHS Wales, and particularly Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, would strengthen a tender. The evaluation’s strong emphasis on technical quality indicates that evidence of methodology, assessor competence, healthcare-sector understanding and reliable service delivery would matter alongside competitive pricing.
