Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process for the supply of emergency lighting equipment for the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB). The contract, titled "Emergency Lighting," was awarded through a direct award procurement method to Thorlux Lighting, the sole supplier capable of meeting the specific technical standards and compatibility requirements of the existing SmartScan system in place at CTMUHB. Based in Cardiff, the buying organisation adheres to Welsh devolved regulations, and the procurement aligns with central government standards. The contract commenced on 15th June 2026, with a completion date set for 20th July 2026, covering various locations in Cardiff, ensuring the seamless integration of new emergency lighting installations with the existing infrastructure.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the construction and lighting industry, particularly those specialising in emergency lighting solutions that integrate advanced technology for safety compliance and operational efficiency. Companies that focus on systems compatibility, centralised monitoring, and technical innovation might find potential business growth by aligning their products with the stringent requirements seen in such contracts. Suppliers in the lighting sector, especially those with expertise in creating integrable, scalable lighting systems, can leverage this kind of procurement to establish themselves as key contributors to public infrastructure projects, potentially leading to long-term partnerships with health boards and government agencies.

Notice Title

Emergency Lighting

Notice Description

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) requires the ongoing supply of emergency lighting equipment that aligns fully with the Health Board's established technical standards and operational needs. The requirement ensures that all future installations, upgrades, and system expansions integrate seamlessly with the existing emergency lighting platform currently deployed across the CTMUHB estate.

Procurement Information

Its system is proprietary, and alternative suppliers cannot provide products capable of integrating with, communicating through, or being managed within the SmartScan architecture. As such, no reasonable alternative supplier exists, fulfilling the Procurement Act's "single supplier" justification for direct award where exclusive technical capability applies.
