Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, with Bangor University, is procuring construction works for the North Wales Medical School at the existing Education Centre in Bangor.

The scope includes reconfiguring the Education Centre, decanting rooms to enable the works, creating a new entrance, and improving the internal flow, layout and functionality. The completed facility is intended to support increased medical teaching and training capacity across North Wales. The work is categorised as construction and will be delivered in a live hospital setting, with activities coordinated around hospital operations, Estates and ICT requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot contract, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries were due by 12:00 on 12 October 2026 and tender submissions by 12:00 on 15 October 2026. The contract period is from 1 March 2027 to 3 July 2028. The estimated value is £2,000,000, with a published gross value of £240,000,000. Bids are evaluated on 60% commercial criteria and 40% technical quality. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement is managed by NHS Wales Shared Services for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

This opportunity suits construction contractors experienced in refurbishment and redevelopment within occupied healthcare or similarly sensitive buildings. Suppliers will need to plan and deliver works safely in a live hospital environment, coordinate outages and access with Estates and ICT teams, and manage decanting and phased changes to existing accommodation. Capability to create or modify entrances, reconfigure internal layouts, and improve accessibility and building functionality is relevant. Delivery must comply with site rules, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, and applicable NHS Wales and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board technical standards. The procurement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller construction businesses with the specialist healthcare, compliance and project-coordination experience needed for a multi-stage refurbishment.
