## Summary

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, under the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, has completed a tender process for the procurement of fire alarm equipment. The process involved a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, worth £500,000 GBP, was awarded to Protec Fire Detection Plc. The equipment purchased includes fire alarm smoke detectors, heat detectors, and break glass units for UHW AND UHL locations. The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive as Protec is the sole supplier capable of supplying and installing the replacement equipment.

This contract award presents business growth opportunities for companies in the burglar and fire alarms industry. Businesses specializing in fire alarm systems and fire detection systems would be well-suited to compete for future similar tenders. As the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board continues to upgrade its fire alarm equipment, there may be additional contracts in the future for related services or products. SMEs in the fire detection sector particularly stand to benefit from engaging with the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership procurement process.
