Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust procured services to convert TCAR to emergency access. The requirement concerns specialist project work in the emergency access area, including cost calculation and cost monitoring. The work is classified under CPV 71244000 and is delivered for the Trust in the United Kingdom. This is a public-sector healthcare requirement managed by a Welsh NHS organisation. The procurement was structured as a single service lot and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The stated purpose was to support the conversion project and its emergency access requirements, building on knowledge developed through earlier work in the same area. Businesses with experience in healthcare infrastructure or access-conversion projects, particularly those able to provide cost-related project services, would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Velindre University NHS Trust made a direct award to Lee Wakemans Limited without competition, using the below-threshold procedure under Schedule 5, paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023. The award date was 18 September 2026. The award value is £26,538 excluding VAT, or £31,845.60 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 30 March 2028, with signature scheduled for 1 October 2026. Lee Wakemans Limited is the selected supplier. The stated basis for the direct award was the supplier’s leadership of the previous emergency access project and its resulting specialist knowledge. The completed procurement comprised one lot, covering the full requirement.

This award indicates that the Trust values continuity of project knowledge and specialist understanding of emergency access requirements when procuring this type of work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of the same kind would need demonstrable experience delivering emergency access or closely related conversion projects, with evidence that its team understands the operational and technical issues carried over from earlier project stages. Capability in calculating, monitoring and controlling project costs is directly relevant. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, suggesting that a focused specialist consultancy or project-services business could be credible without being a large national contractor. Suppliers should be able to explain how they would preserve project context, provide dependable technical advice and manage cost information throughout delivery for a Welsh NHS client.
