Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust bought landscape architecture advisory services to support the development of the New Velindre Cancer Centre. The work concerns landscape architecture advice for the centre’s project, with the stated aim of supporting a consistent approach to the works being carried out. The procurement is categorised as a service, specifically landscape architectural services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the Trust is based in Cardiff, Wales. The requirement was handled as a single lot, considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The supplier appointed was MacGregor Smith Limited, a Bath-based small business. The project-specific focus makes this relevant to landscape architecture practices able to advise on major healthcare developments and maintain continuity across associated works.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to MacGregor Smith Limited. The award was made on 24 August 2026, following an eight-day standstill period, and the contract was signed on 15 September 2026. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 30 April 2029. Its value is £49,570 excluding VAT (£59,484 including VAT). This was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the Procurement Act 2023. The stated basis was appointment of a supplier with recent project experience, to ensure a consistent approach to the works for the New Velindre Cancer Centre. The requirement was procured as one lot; the award and contract are active.

For landscape architecture consultancies, this award signals a buyer requirement tied to advisory input on a major cancer-centre development, rather than a general landscaping works package. A credible future competitor would need recent, relevant project experience and the ability to provide consistent advice across works over an extended project delivery period. The selected supplier was a small business, and the requirement was treated as suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller practices can be relevant where their experience matches the project. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so demonstrating a strong record of comparable healthcare or complex development projects and establishing relevance to the Trust’s requirements would matter when similar advisory services are next considered.
