Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is procuring construction works for the North Wales Medical School at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. The project is being delivered with Bangor University to increase medical education and training capacity across North Wales. It covers an extension onto the existing roof to create additional teaching accommodation, refurbishment and improvement of existing education facilities, and reconfiguration of the teaching environment. The works are intended to address fragmented, undersized accommodation and improve its suitability for teaching and learning. The project also concerns an education area located along a corridor used by patients, staff and carers travelling to and from the Endoscopy Department. Delivery is across Ysbyty Gwynedd and associated North Wales locations.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries had to be submitted by 15 October 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 19 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 20 November 2026 to 28 July 2028. Its estimated value is £2,000,000 excluding VAT, or £2,400,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the opportunity is evaluated on 60% commercial cost and 40% technical quality. The procurement is for works rather than goods or services, and the stated competition is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits construction contractors able to deliver alterations, refurbishment, building extension and internal reconfiguration in an operational hospital. Suppliers will need to plan and manage work in a live healthcare environment, coordinate outages and access with Estates and ICT, and maintain safe separation from patients, staff, carers and clinical routes. 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 work calls for contractors with the capacity to manage a multi-year hospital construction programme while maintaining continuity of access and services. The buyer identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Notice Information

Notice Title

BCU-ITT-64089 - North Wales Medical School - West (YG)

Notice Description

Bangor University (BU) and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) are working in partnership to deliver the North Wales Medical School (NWMS), an established Welsh Government-funded programme designed to increase medical education and training capacity across North Wales. The works comprise of the alterations and adaptations of the existing building to form a new medical training centre. All activities must be planned for a live hospital environment, coordinating outages and access with Estates/ICT, and must comply with site rules, CDM, and applicable NHS W /BCUHB technical standards. The Ysbyty Gwynedd contract comprises the development of additional teaching accommodation together with the refurbishment of the existing education facilities. The existing education accommodation at YG has a fragmented layout, which limits the functionality and effectiveness of the current teaching environment. A review of the available accommodation against the space requirements necessary to support the teaching and learning activity associated with the curriculum has also identified that the existing rooms and overall available space are undersized. In addition, the existing education facilities are located along a corridor which is also used by patients, staff and carers as a route to and from the Endoscopy Department. The Estates Department has confirmed that there is no alternative route available, which presents an additional consideration in the planning and development of the education environment. The proposed works include: * Extension onto the existing roof area to provide additional teaching accommodation. * Refurbishment and improvement of the existing education spaces. * Reconfiguration and enhancement of the education environment to address the current fragmented layout and improve its suitability for teaching and learning activities. * Improvements to the education accommodation to support the space requirements associated with the NWMS curriculum. The scheme will increase the available teaching capacity at Ysbyty Gwynedd and provide an improved and more appropriately sized education environment to support the delivery of the NWMS programme.
