Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust commissioned temporary protection works for the old Whitchurch Chapel building. The purpose is to reduce further deterioration through safety and weatherproofing measures, rather than improve, replace or renovate the building. The requirement includes managing asbestos found inside the chapel. The works are part of a new agreement with the contractor previously selected for the earlier project, following discussions with Cardiff Council. The buyer is based in Cardiff, and the work concerns Whitchurch Chapel. This is a construction and civil engineering works requirement, covering practical building protection, weatherproofing, safety measures and asbestos-related management to slow the building’s dilapidation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The earlier project was awarded through a mini-competition, and this procurement established a new agreement with the previously awarded contractor. John Weaver was awarded the single lot on 20 August 2026. The award is valued at £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 November 2026. A contract signature was scheduled by 3 September 2026. John Weaver is the selected supplier. The award relates to construction and civil engineering works, with no separate evaluation criteria published in the procurement information.

This procurement indicates demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for small-scale building protection and preservation works, particularly where safety, weatherproofing and prevention of further deterioration are required. A credible future competitor would need practical construction and civil engineering capability, experience working on existing or historic buildings, and the ability to deliver temporary or preventative measures without treating the requirement as a full refurbishment. Competence in identifying and managing asbestos within a building is central to this requirement, so suppliers would need suitable asbestos-management arrangements and the ability to coordinate safe working. The awarded supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist contractor with the capacity to manage a short, defined project.
