Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust procured temporary protection works at the old Whitchurch Chapel building. The scope is preventative: safety and weatherproofing measures intended to slow further deterioration, rather than improve or replace the building. The requirement also includes managing asbestos discovered within the chapel. This is a construction and civil engineering works requirement, classified under CPV 45200000. The Trust developed the requirement following discussions with Cardiff Council and is the public-sector buyer. The work is associated with Whitchurch Chapel in Cardiff. It is a single requirement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, focused on controlling the building’s condition and managing identified hazardous material during the works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The award was recorded on 20 August 2026 to John Weaver Limited. The award value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 November 2026. The requirement was divided into one lot, which is complete. The award status is recorded as pending, with contract signature scheduled for 3 September 2026. This follows an earlier award through a mini-competition, with the new agreement intended to allow the previously awarded contractor to complete the project. No competitive evaluation basis is stated for this direct award.

This procurement indicates demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for contractors able to carry out controlled temporary safety and weatherproofing works on an ageing public building, while preventing further deterioration rather than delivering refurbishment. A credible future competitor would need practical construction and civil engineering capability, experience working safely on existing or potentially fragile structures, and the ability to plan measures that protect a building from weather exposure. Competence in identifying, containing and managing asbestos would be central to the requirement, including appropriate specialist personnel, safe systems of work and compliance with relevant asbestos controls. Small and medium-sized contractors may be well placed where they can combine responsive site management with hazardous-material expertise and evidence of delivering comparable protection works for public-sector or heritage buildings.
