UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust is procuring manned security services for the former Whitchurch Hospital site on behalf of the Trust. The requirement covers the provision of personnel to protect the site and support security operations. This is a services contract, classified under other community, social and personal services (CPV 98000000). Delivery is in the Cardiff area, at the former Whitchurch Hospital site. The buying organisation is Velindre University NHS Trust, a Welsh NHS public authority. The opportunity concerns a single requirement rather than several separately described service packages, so suppliers should be able to provide a complete manned security service for the site. It is relevant to businesses providing guarding, site security and related security personnel services for public-sector or healthcare environments.

The procurement has reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 6 October 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be completed and submitted by 14 October 2026 at 12:00. The evaluation gives 60% to quality, comprising 50% technical assessment and 10% social value, and 40% to the commercial price. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 July 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months in six-month periods, to a maximum end date of 31 July 2028. The estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT, or £600,000 including VAT. The award decision was due by 11 November 2026. Electronic submission is allowed, in English or Welsh.

This opportunity suits established security companies able to supply and manage trained personnel for a defined hospital-site assignment. Suppliers should be capable of delivering reliable manned guarding, maintaining coverage across the former hospital site and managing day-to-day security responsibilities on behalf of an NHS organisation. Strong technical responses will matter more than price alone, because quality accounts for 60% of the evaluation, including a specific social-value element. The requirement is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is accessible to organisations beyond large national security contractors. It may also suit a regional provider with the operational capacity, supervision and service-management experience needed to support a public-sector client throughout the initial term and any extension.
