## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is overseeing the procurement process for the "UHW Fire Alarm Upgrade" contract at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff. This project falls under the works category, primarily involving electrical installation work. The procurement method employed is a limited award procedure, and it is important to note that the contract has already been awarded to Protec Fire Detection Plc on 16th November 2021, with a contract value of £340,000. The procurement stage is complete, focusing on upgrading the existing closed protocol fire alarm system across designated areas of the hospital.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the electrical installation sector, particularly those specialising in fire safety systems, to engage in similar future contracts. Such businesses that are looking to expand should be particularly aware of the specific requirements associated with closed protocol systems, as well as the significance of securing contracts through limited procurement methods. As there was no competitive tendering process for this contract, companies with comparable capabilities may find this insight valuable for understanding the landscape of future direct award opportunities in healthcare projects.
