Summary of the contracting process

Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust commissioned professional project management, cost consultancy and technical support for estates projects and capital investment works. The service covers project planning, design coordination, cost management, procurement support, tender evaluation and contract administration, alongside related consultancy needed to deliver projects. The named scheme is Carmarthen Larger Scheme, covering RIBA stages 1–4. The work is in the Carmarthen area of Wales. This is a professional construction and project consultancy requirement, including project and design preparation and cost estimation (CPV 71242000). The buyer is the Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, a public healthcare organisation. The scope combines project leadership and commercial cost advice with technical support across the early project lifecycle and procurement and delivery activities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Lawray Limited; the contract is active and was signed on 15 October 2026. The contract value is £10,170. It was a limited, direct call-off from the established SWEU035 Professional Services Framework, without a further competition. The framework had previously been awarded through a competitive tender, and its terms allowed the Trust to select a supplier directly. One lot covered the consultancy services, with price identified as the award criterion. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The lot is marked cancelled in the process data, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the reported award and signed contract therefore establish Lawray Limited as the selected supplier. No contract start or end date is recorded.

For comparable work with Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, a credible supplier would need to combine project management, cost consultancy and technical support for healthcare estates and capital investment schemes. Relevant capability spans early project planning and design coordination through cost control, procurement support, tender evaluation and contract administration, with the capacity to support delivery across RIBA stages 1–4. The award demonstrates that this buyer used its established professional services framework to make a direct call-off without reopening competition, so access to the applicable framework and the ability to meet its terms are commercially important. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of consultancy was delivered by a smaller business. Strong cost-management and project coordination experience would be central to competing for a similar requirement.

Procurement Information

The contract was awarded through a compliant call-off from an established framework agreement. SWEU035 Professional Services Framework was originally procured and awarded following a competitive tender process in accordance with the relevant procurement legislation, with all required due diligence, selection, evaluation and award procedures completed prior to suppliers being admitted to the framework. In accordance with the terms of the framework, a direct award (call-off without further competition) was undertaken, as the framework provisions permitted the selection of a supplier without reopening competition. The award is therefore lawful as it is made under the terms and conditions of a properly established framework agreement, and no separate contract notice or further competition was required. All governance, financial, and procurement checks applicable to the call-off have been completed in accordance with organisational procedures and the framework rules.
