Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, successfully completed a procurement process for accident damage and body repair services on behalf of The Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust. This open procedure sought to establish a framework agreement with multiple suppliers across various geographical lots including North, Central, South Central, and South & East regions of Wales. The framework, valued at £1.6 million, addresses both light to moderate and severe vehicle damages, ensuring repairs align with approved methods. The process concluded with contracts signed on 30th April 2025, signalling the transition from the award phase to active service provision. Key decisions were made based on quality and cost criteria, with a focus on timely and efficient service delivery to meet the operational needs of the ambulance services.

This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in vehicle body repairs, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By participating in this framework, businesses can secure steady work streams and enhance their reputation by aligning with a major public health service. The successful suppliers, such as WILSONS ACCIDENT REPAIR CENTRE LTD and AUTO BODYTECH LIMITED, illustrate the kind of enterprises suited to fulfilling these rigorous requirements. Companies with expertise in utilising approved repair methods and an ability to provide quick response times are particularly well-equipped to compete in such public procurement frameworks, potentially leading to further collaborations and expansion into regional markets.
