Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust commissioned the design, creation and installation of eight bespoke wall-based artworks for the radiotherapy treatment room mazes at the new Velindre Cancer Centre. This is an artistic services contract: the artworks are intended for the treatment-room maze areas. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the Trust is based in Cardiff, Wales.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to artist Helen Booth on 12 October 2026. It followed a competitive, below-threshold open procedure. The awarded contract value is £40,832.50 excluding VAT (£48,999 including VAT). The award period runs from 26 October 2026 to 1 April 2027. The procurement was a single lot, with an estimated lot value of £39,199.20 excluding VAT (£48,999 including VAT) and a stated contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. Evaluation was based entirely on the quality of the technical response. Six bids were received, all from SMEs.

This award shows demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for commissioned, site-specific artwork in a cancer treatment environment. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate professional artistic practice and the ability to design, make and install multiple bespoke wall-based works suited to radiotherapy treatment-room maze spaces. The technical response carried the full evaluation weighting, so a strong case would need to explain the proposed creative approach and how it meets the requirements for these particular spaces. The successful supplier was an SME, and all six bidders were SMEs, indicating that this scale of commission can attract smaller businesses. The requirement is focused on delivering a defined set of artworks for one specialist healthcare setting.
