Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust requires building control services for the proposed Coast2Coast development at Rhyl Ambulance Station. The work is to be carried out by a suitably qualified and experienced Approved Inspector or Registered Building Control Approver, providing building control oversight for the development. The delivery location is Rhyl, and the requirement is a single package of construction-related consultancy services. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, acted as the buyer for the procurement. The requirement relates specifically to building control for this ambulance station project, rather than general design or construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to LAWRAY LIMITED; the contract is active and was signed on 29 September 2026. Its value is £6,050. The procurement used a limited procedure, awarded without a prior call for competition, through a direct call-off under a framework. The Trust cited the supplier’s earlier RIBA design work and resulting knowledge of the site, requirements, constraints and stakeholder objectives as grounds for continuity, risk reduction and programme delivery. There was one lot, which is recorded as cancelled, although the award and active contract are also recorded for the process. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was received, from an SME.

This award shows a modest, specialist requirement for building control expertise on NHS ambulance-station development works in Rhyl. A credible competitor when this specific need returns would need to qualify as an Approved Inspector or Registered Building Control Approver and demonstrate relevant experience delivering building control services for development projects. Familiarity with the site, project constraints and stakeholder needs was important in the Trust’s stated choice, as was the ability to support continuity and keep the programme on track. The appointment went to a small or medium-sized supplier, and price was the stated evaluation basis. Suppliers should therefore be able to combine the required professional approval credentials with practical project knowledge and competitive pricing for a focused consultancy assignment.
