Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board procured continuation of the hire of a modular Portakabin building used as a mortuary. This is a building-hire service rather than a purchase of construction works. The requirement was to keep the existing mortuary Portakabin in place, so it is relevant to modular-building hire providers able to supply and support this type of facility for a healthcare client. Delivery is in Wales; the procurement data identifies the location only by a regional code, which cannot be translated reliably into a place name.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Portakabin. The Health Board used a direct award call-off from the SBS10514 Modular Buildings framework, without a further competition; the framework had previously been competed. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and is valued at £49,138.38. The title indicates a requirement covering September 2026 to March 2028. The single lot was marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The stated award basis for the lot was price. One bid was recorded, and the supplier was selected through the framework call-off route rather than a new open tender.

This award shows recurring demand from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for continued hire of a modular building serving as a mortuary. A supplier seeking to compete when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide suitable modular accommodation and sustain an existing healthcare facility through a hire arrangement. The buyer used its SBS10514 Modular Buildings framework and made a call-off without reopening competition, so framework access and the ability to meet the framework’s call-off terms are central to competing by this route. The recorded award basis was price, and one bid was recorded. Portakabin was selected, demonstrating that a modular-building supplier could deliver this requirement for the Health Board; the published procurement details do not set out more specific technical or accreditation requirements.

Notice Description

Continuation of existing Mortuary Portakabin hire

Procurement Information

The contract was awarded through a compliant call-off from an established framework agreement. The 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 SBS10514 Modular Buildings framework rules.
