Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board commissioned NEC4 supervisory consultancy for the Dan y Deri scheme: a new Challenging Behaviour Unit on the Health Board’s estate. The supervisor is to coordinate with the design team and oversee delivery through successful completion and handover, following NEC4 supervisory best practice and ensuring compliance with statutory, regulatory and project-specific requirements. The project is intended to support clinical efficiencies and patient benefits. The work is delivered within the Swansea Bay University Health Board estate, in the Swansea Bay area of Wales. This is specialist construction-project consultancy and civil engineering support, rather than building works themselves. The requirement is for continuation of supervisory services on this particular healthcare development.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to DRAC Consulting. The award followed a limited procedure without prior publication or a competition, using an existing framework; the stated rationale was continuity, retention of project knowledge and avoiding duplicated work and mobilisation costs. The evaluation criterion was price. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and is active. Its recorded value is £8,489. The procurement concerns one lot, for NEC4 supervisory services for the new Challenging Behaviour Unit; the lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are reported as active. The project’s stated financial threshold of £2 million was exceeded, prompting the buyer to use an alternative framework route. The award information identifies DRAC Consulting as the selected supplier.

For suppliers seeking comparable future work with Swansea Bay University Health Board, this award demonstrates demand for NEC4 supervisory consultancy on specialist healthcare construction projects, including continuity of oversight from design coordination through handover. A credible competitor would need demonstrable NEC4 supervisory expertise, the ability to work closely with a multidisciplinary design team, and a strong grasp of statutory, regulatory and project-specific compliance. Relevant experience in sensitive healthcare or challenging-behaviour facilities, familiarity with the Health Board’s estate and capital-planning requirements, and the capacity to retain project knowledge across delivery would be valuable. The procurement used an existing framework and relied on continuity and reduced mobilisation effort as value-for-money arguments, so framework access and the ability to mobilise efficiently are commercially relevant when this requirement next arises.
