Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust procured independent client-side landscape architecture advisory services for the New Velindre Cancer Centre. The service is intended to support and advise the client in relation to the landscape and associated works, helping to maintain a consistent approach across the project. The requirement is for professional landscape architecture services rather than construction delivery or general grounds maintenance. The work is connected to the New Velindre Cancer Centre and is being delivered for the Trust in Wales. The procurement is classified as services, with the specific service classification being landscape architectural services (CPV 71420000). It was arranged as a single requirement, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Velindre University NHS Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023. MacGregor Smith Limited was awarded the contract on 24 August 2026. The award value is £49,570 excluding VAT, or £59,484 including VAT. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 30 April 2029. The award covers one lot. The stated basis for selecting the supplier was recent project experience, with the requirement for independent client-side landscape architecture advice to support the cancer centre works. A contract signature was scheduled for 10 September 2026.

This procurement shows demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for specialist, independent landscape architecture advice on a major healthcare construction project. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need recent experience of comparable landscape architecture projects and the ability to act in an independent client-side advisory role. It would need to provide consistent professional input throughout a multi-year programme, coordinate its advice with works being conducted, and support the client’s interests rather than simply supply design outputs. The requirement was suitable for an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist practice could be relevant if it can demonstrate the necessary project experience, professional capability and capacity to maintain advice over the full delivery programme. Experience in complex healthcare or similarly controlled construction environments would strengthen a supplier’s position.
