Summary of the contracting process

Powys Teaching Health Board commissioned hotel meeting and conference services for the Health and Care Research Wales Conference 2026. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement on the Board’s behalf. The requirement covered conference services delivered in Cardiff, with Glamorgan Cricket Club named as the supplier. This is an event-services requirement centred on hosting a health and care research conference, rather than a purchase of clinical or research services. The procurement also classified the requirement as event services, alongside hotel meeting and conference services. Cardiff is the stated delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Glamorgan Cricket Club. It used an open competition below the relevant threshold. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and covers 8 October 2026. The contract value is £31,006 excluding VAT (£37,207.20 including VAT); the award-stage estimate was £30,000 excluding VAT. There was one lot. Bids were assessed on cost, weighted at 60%, and technical quality, weighted at 40%. The published submission deadline was 19 June 2026, and the deadline for questions was 12 June 2026. Electronic submission was allowed. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers competing for a similar conference requirement from Powys Teaching Health Board, a credible offer would combine suitable conference and hotel-meeting facilities in Cardiff with the ability to deliver event services for a health and care research audience. Glamorgan Cricket Club, an SME, won this contract, showing that a specialist venue or event supplier can serve the requirement. The evaluation gave cost the greater weight, while technical quality remained a substantial part of the decision, so a competitive proposition would need both clear value and a strong, practical technical response. The lot was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making this a potential fit for smaller event businesses as well as larger providers.
