Notice Title
High Voltage Switchgear Warranty Support, Maintenance & Emergency Response Services
Notice Description
NWSSP on behalf of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board intends to award this contract directly to National Grid South Wales under Section 41 and Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023. The contract relates to the continued provision of High Voltage maintenance, warranty support and emergency response services for the Health Board's existing electrical infrastructure. National Grid is the incumbent provider and has detailed knowledge of the Health Board's High Voltage network, including system configuration, maintenance history, asset condition, warranty arrangements and operational requirements. A change of supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in the operation and maintenance of the existing infrastructure, including the transfer and validation of asset records, maintenance information, warranty documentation and site-specific network knowledge across multiple hospital sites. The direct award is necessary to maintain continuity of support for critical electrical infrastructure that underpins essential healthcare services, minimise operational risk and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the Health Board's estate whilst a longer-term procurement strategy is developed
