Notice Information
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
Under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, a contracting authority may directly award a contract where one or more justifications in Schedule 5 apply. In this case, the justification relied upon is the "single supplier" ground, where only one supplier is capable of delivering the required goods or services due to technical, exclusive, or proprietary reasons. The Health Board has adopted the Thorlux SmartScan emergency lighting platform as its standard across the estate. Thorlux is the only manufacturer able to supply equipment fully compatible with the existing network of SmartScan luminaires, control devices, and monitoring systems. 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.
