Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board is procuring maintenance of Swegon fire dampers and their control panels at Morriston and Singleton Hospitals in Swansea. The work covers systems manufactured, supplied and maintained by Swegon. The panels use a closed software protocol, and Swegon exclusively holds the software needed to maintain them and provide updates. This is specialist repair and maintenance work for fire-damper systems, rather than a general building-maintenance requirement. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services managed the procurement on the health board’s behalf. The delivery locations are the two named hospitals in Swansea.

The procurement is complete and the award is recorded as pending. Swansea Bay University Health Board selected Swegon Ltd through a direct award, citing the closed system and the supplier’s exclusive access to the software and panel access. The award date is not stated. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with signature scheduled for 12 November 2026. The award value is £141,519 excluding VAT (£169,882.60 including VAT). The procurement was one lot, covering maintenance of the fire dampers and panels. The stated basis for the direct award was that no other provider could supply the required software or updates or access the panels; no separate scored evaluation criteria are set out.

For suppliers that did not win, this award signals a recurring, technically restricted maintenance requirement for Swegon fire-damper and panel systems at Swansea Bay University Health Board’s Morriston and Singleton Hospitals. A credible competitor would need the technical ability and authorised access to maintain these specific systems, including access to the closed-protocol panel software and software updates. The buyer relied on Swegon’s exclusive control of those capabilities to justify the direct award, so general fire-safety or building-maintenance experience alone would not address the stated barrier. Suppliers interested in similar future requirements should assess whether they can secure the necessary software rights, system access and specialist maintenance capability for this equipment and demonstrate that they can support the panels as well as the dampers.
