Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Local Health Board appointed a principal contractor to deliver fire improvement construction works at Glangwili General Hospital in Carmarthen. The requirement is construction work to improve fire safety at a hospital, with the contractor responsible for principal-contractor delivery. It is a focused hospital works project rather than a general building-services contract. The buyer is the local health board, which provides health services across its area. The project location is Glangwili General Hospital, Carmarthen.

The contract has been awarded and signed. Hywel Dda University Local Health Board selected T Richard Jones (Betws) Ltd following a mini-competition under the Carmarthen Council South & West Wales Regional Construction Framework, Lot 4a. The contract was signed on 23 October 2026, with a two-year term starting 4 February 2027. Its value is £5,143,278.85. The published evaluation gave quality a 60% weighting and price 40%. Two bids were received, both from SMEs. The procurement record marks the lot cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active; no cancellation of the award or contract is reported.

This award demonstrates demand from Hywel Dda University Local Health Board for principal-contractor delivery of hospital fire improvement works, at a scale requiring a substantial construction project team and the capacity to manage delivery over a two-year programme. A credible competitor would need relevant experience coordinating construction works in an operational healthcare setting and delivering fire-safety improvements, alongside the management capability expected of a principal contractor. The scoring placed greater weight on quality than price, so evidence of a sound delivery approach and relevant technical competence would be important alongside a competitive cost. The route used was a mini-competition among suppliers on the regional construction framework, making framework access relevant to competing for this specific requirement if it returns to market.
