UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, intends to procure the design and installation of electric vehicle charging and photovoltaic battery energy storage infrastructure at Denbigh Stores in North Wales. Denbigh Stores is an NHS Wales-owned and operated facility that stores and distributes fast-moving consumable products to hospital sites across North Wales. The infrastructure will support the decarbonisation of the Healthcare Courier Service fleet and provide additional charging capacity and resilience, particularly for North Wales operations. The requirement covers two elements: EV chargers and shorelines, and a PV battery energy storage system. The procurement is primarily for goods, with associated design and installation services. The charging and solar equipment are classified under chargers and solar panels.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but this record does not invite tenders. It is expected to be run as a tender under Welsh devolved procurement regulations, with one lot currently planned. The buyer’s indicative date for the next notice is 4 September 2026, and the planned contract period is 9 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £190,000 excluding VAT, or £228,000 including VAT. The award is subject to funding, with the two requirements potentially supported by separate grant-funded streams. The buyer has planned preliminary market engagement for 3 September 2026; suppliers do not need to take action, although they may contact the procurement team if they require further information.

The work is suited to suppliers that can design and install electric vehicle charging infrastructure and photovoltaic battery energy storage systems for an operational NHS logistics facility. Relevant businesses are likely to include electrical infrastructure contractors, EV charging specialists, renewable energy installers, battery energy storage system integrators and firms able to deliver these disciplines together or through a delivery partnership. Suppliers should be prepared to address both charging equipment and shorelines, and the design and installation of PV battery resilience infrastructure. Experience of working safely in a healthcare supply-chain or other live distribution environment would be useful preparation, as would the capacity to deliver a time-limited installation programme. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable for the planned lot.
