Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board procured annual inspection and testing of fire alarm systems at University Hospital Llandough, Barry Hospital, Cardiff Royal Infirmary and community sites. This is a fire alarm inspection and testing service within wider electrical and mechanical building-installation maintenance. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services managed the process for the Health Board. The work is delivered across the named Cardiff and Vale health sites in Wales. The requirement covers the systems serving hospital and community healthcare facilities, so relevant suppliers are specialist fire alarm inspection, testing and maintenance contractors able to work across multiple NHS premises. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is an SME.

The procurement is complete and has reached award stage. It used an open procedure, with electronic submission through eTenderWales and bids accepted in English or Welsh. The contract was awarded to Morris Line Engineering Limited on 22 September 2026, subject to a standstill period ending on 1 October 2026; signature was scheduled for 6 October 2026. The award is valued at £457,085.39 excluding VAT, or £548,502.47 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with annual extensions available at the Health Board’s discretion to a maximum end date of 31 October 2031. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 40% and commercial cost at 60%. Four bids were received and three reached the final stage.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from a major NHS health board for planned fire alarm inspection and testing across acute hospitals and community premises. A credible future competitor would need specialist competence in inspecting and testing fire alarm equipment, the operational capacity to cover several healthcare sites, and the systems and reporting discipline needed for annual compliance work in live clinical environments. Experience of coordinating visits across hospital and community locations would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to provide consistent technical evidence and service records for a public-sector client. The competition attracted four bids, with three progressing to the final stage, indicating a field open to established specialist contractors and capable SMEs rather than only large national suppliers.
