UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust procured bespoke catering counters for the new Velindre Cancer Centre. The goods provide modern food-service facilities for the centre’s operational requirements, combining back-bar, servery, beverage, deli, chilled-food and hot-food counters. This is a specialist catering-equipment supply requirement rather than general catering services or construction work. The buyer is Velindre University NHS Trust, based in Cardiff, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. The classification is CPV 39172000 for counters. The requirement was arranged as a single package and was intended to provide an integrated counter solution tailored to the new cancer centre’s food-service operation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold direct award without competition, because the equipment was bespoke. E&R Moffat Limited was selected as supplier on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £139,521.74 excluding VAT, or £167,426.09 including VAT. The award covers the single catering-counter package, with an active contract recorded. The procurement was evaluated on the need for bespoke equipment rather than through a competitive tender, reflecting the tailored nature of the solution required for the new Velindre Cancer Centre.

This award indicates demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for specialist, made-to-requirement food-service equipment in a healthcare setting. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement of this kind would need to design or provide bespoke catering counters across back-bar, servery, beverage, deli, chilled-food and hot-food functions, and combine them into one operational solution. Relevant experience would include delivering equipment tailored to a complex public-sector facility, understanding the practical needs of a cancer centre, and demonstrating the capacity to supply a package covering several counter types. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that a focused specialist business can meet this type of requirement.
