UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the procurement process titled "Medical Gas Works" under the direct award procurement method. This contract involves capital works to install and commission additional medical gas infrastructure at Princess of Wales Hospital, along with installations at Prince Charles Hospital (PCH) and Ysbyty George Thomas (YGT). Located in Cardiff, the project adheres to medical standards and aims to enhance compliance across these healthcare facilities. The procurement process commenced with a transparency notice in September 2025, followed by a direct award issued to M&M Medical Ltd, scheduled to deliver works from 3rd April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The industry category for this tender is construction, and all works will integrate with existing gas systems to ensure compliance with HTM 02-01 standards.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in medical infrastructure. As the selected supplier, M&M Medical Ltd is positioned to leverage its existing installations to ensure seamless integration and avoid technical risks, offering continuity and compatibility with the current systems. Businesses with capabilities in providing specialised equipment and construction services in the healthcare sector, particularly those with similar past experience and compliance capabilities, would be well-suited to consider future tenders from NHS Wales if open competition arises. The direct award emphasises the need for specific expertise and adherence to the Procurement Act 2023, indicating an environment ripe for firms specialising in niche medical infrastructure works.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Medical Gas Works

Notice Description

Capital works to supply, install, test and commission additional medical gas infrastructure at Princess of Wales Hospital, alongside further installations and remedial works at Prince Charles Hospital (PCH) and Ysbyty George Thomas (YGT). All works will be fully compliant with HTM 02-01 and integrated seamlessly with existing medical gas systems. Justification In September 2025, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board published a Transparency Notice on Sell2Wales confirming its intention to make a Direct Award to M&M Medical Ltd for essential compliance works at Princess of Wales Hospital. No challenges or responses were received. Following this, a direct award was issued to M&M Medical Ltd on the basis that they are the incumbent supplier, having originally installed and currently maintaining CTM's medical gas infrastructure. Their continued appointment ensured full compatibility, avoided technical risk, and met the statutory provisions under the Procurement Act 2023, Schedule 5, Section 7(2). The Health Board now intends to use the same compliant route for further medical gas compliance works across PCH, YGT and POWH. These new works fall outside routine maintenance but must integrate directly with existing systems using the same installation methods, equipment and standards. As with the previous award, M&M Medical Ltd remains the only supplier capable of delivering these works without introducing system incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulty. Their pricing continues to be derived from the previously tendered maintenance contract schedule of rates, ensuring transparency and value for money. A change of supplier at this stage would risk system incompatibility and could lead to significant technical challenges during future operation and maintenance.
