UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board bought one electric tow tug for Portering Services at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. The tug is intended to move linen, food and other wheeled equipment around the hospital site. This is a supply and delivery requirement for an electric vehicle, rather than a wider fleet or transport service. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the procurement. Delivery is associated with Wrexham Maelor Hospital in Wrexham. The requirement was for a single item to support internal hospital logistics, moving loads around the site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lift Safe Ltd, trading as ePowerTrucks. It was a below-threshold award under a framework, using a selective procedure; the call-off was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 9 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £15,150 excluding VAT (£18,180 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the supply and delivery of one electric tow tug. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions.

For suppliers of electric tow tugs and related material-handling equipment, this award demonstrates demand from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for compact electric equipment to support hospital portering. A credible competitor would need to supply and deliver a suitable tug for moving linen, food and other wheeled equipment around an active hospital site. The scale is a single-vehicle supply rather than a large fleet requirement. The buyer used a framework route for this below-threshold purchase, so suppliers seeking similar work should be positioned to participate in relevant frameworks and fulfil call-off requirements. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this individual supply was within the reach of a smaller specialist business.
