Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust procured specialised mechanical engineering workshop machinery for the new Velindre Cancer Centre. The requirement covers the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and associated training for equipment forming part of the Clinical Engineering workshop. The machinery must integrate with the Trust’s existing machinery, operational processes and software systems, including its current software environment and machine programming standards. The purpose is to maintain continuity of service, reduce training requirements, preserve operational efficiency and avoid technical risks caused by incompatible systems. This is a goods procurement for industrial machinery, classified under CPV 42000000. The buying organisation is based in Cardiff, and delivery is within the United Kingdom. The requirement was structured as one lot and identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition. The award was made to XYZ Machine Tools Limited on 19 August 2026. The award value was £110,000 excluding VAT and £131,999.97 including VAT. The related contract was signed on 8 September 2026, with a contract value of £110,614 excluding VAT and £132,736.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 16 July 2027; the award record gives an equipment delivery and service period from 17 March 2027 to 16 July 2027. The evaluation route was direct procurement rather than a competitive tender, with compatibility with existing machinery, software, programming standards and workflows central to the requirement. One supplier and one lot were involved.

This award indicates demand from a specialist NHS engineering environment for suppliers able to provide complete workshop equipment packages rather than machinery alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply, install, commission and support industrial mechanical engineering machinery, and provide practical training for workshop users. Technical capability in integrating new equipment with established machinery, software systems, machine programming standards and operational workflows would be important. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable implementation, compatibility testing and support that protects continuity of clinical engineering services and limits disruption. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist machinery company with the necessary engineering expertise, delivery capability and experience of complex equipment integration could be well placed when this type of need returns.

Notice Description

The requirement is for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and training associated with specialist mechanical engineering workshop machinery for the new Velindre Cancer Centre. The equipment forms a critical part of the Clinical Engineering workshop and must integrate seamlessly with existing machinery, operational processes, and software systems already in use by the organisation.
