Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board commissioned a lead consultancy for the proposed new-build Section 136 suites at Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, Wales. The suites are for people detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983. The requirement covers the full range of professional consultancy services across RIBA Stages 0–7, from early project definition through completion. The consultant is to manage a multidisciplinary team and support delivery of a fit-for-purpose facility designed for adult mental health care. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. This is a healthcare construction consultancy requirement, rather than a contract to build the suites.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to James and Nicholas Architects Engineers Limited. The award date was 22 October 2026, with an award value of £68,530 excluding VAT (£82,320 including VAT). The awarded contract period is 5 November 2026 to 26 March 2027. The original estimated value for the single lot was £110,000 excluding VAT (£121,000 including VAT). It was run as a below-threshold open competition. Ten bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation weighted technical analysis at 40% and commercial analysis at 60%. The wider tender listed a contract period of 7 August 2026 to 6 August 2027; the award records the shorter period for the selected supplier.

For future requirements of this kind, credible competitors will need to provide the full professional consultancy capability across RIBA Stages 0–7 and lead a multidisciplinary team through a healthcare construction project. The buyer specifically sought extensive experience delivering the range of services required in healthcare settings, together with knowledge of best practice and design criteria tailored to adult mental health. This points to a need for coordinated design and project-delivery expertise, and the ability to translate specialist mental health requirements into a fit-for-purpose hospital facility. The competition attracted ten SME bids, showing that the requirement was accessible to smaller firms as well as larger practices. Architectural, engineering and other construction consultancy firms with relevant healthcare and adult mental health project experience are the closest fit.
