UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for air circuit breakers was executed by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board using a direct, below-threshold method without competition. This contract, classified under the "Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting" industry category, involved the replacement of two air circuit breakers at the Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr Hospital due to safety concerns with existing units. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded to ABB Limited, a large-scale supplier. The contract period is scheduled from 15 June 2026 to 30 June 2026. The process was managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, both situated in the UK, with specific activities taking place in the UKL21 (Newport) and UKL16 regions.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing or supplying electrical and safety-related equipment to hospitals. Given the specialised nature of air circuit breakers and the safety standards required, large-scale suppliers with established expertise and capabilities in electrical supply and maintenance will find this procurement fitting. Partnerships with healthcare institutions, facilitated through reliable contacts and procured contracts, can offer a consistent and valuable growth pathway in the healthcare industry. Businesses that are equipped to meet technical stipulations and safety standards without engaging in a competitive bidding process may especially benefit from similar future tenders.

Air circuit breakers

Notice Description

Two new air circuit breakers are required for the generator changeover panel at YYF Hospital.
