## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract for the maintenance of a Combined Heat and Power system at the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The contract, a direct award to Clarke Energy Limited, covers repair and maintenance services of generators, within the industry category of services. The procurement, governed by Welsh devolved regulations, is valued at £631,199.98 GBP and spans from 4th August 2025 to 30th May 2027. The procurement stage is complete, with Clarke Energy selected due to their prior involvement in implementing and maintaining the system since 2008, highlighting their technical expertise as a single supplier.

This tender presents an opportunity for large businesses with capabilities in power generation maintenance and a portfolio in complex technical systems. Businesses offering innovative maintenance solutions for energy systems may find it challenging due to the direct award nature and technical specificity of the procurement; however, it highlights the importance of building long-term relationships with public sector clients for future opportunities. With Clarke Energy as the awarded supplier, the contract underscores the potential for businesses with specialised technical knowledge and history with specific systems to secure similar contracts.

## Notice

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAVUHB) has had a contract in place for the last 16 years for a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. Whilst a decision is being made regarding a new system it is proposed that a two-year operational and maintenance agreement is put in place for the current system as this is essential for the running of all aspects of UHW.

### Procurement Information

Clarke Energy implemented the CHP in 2008 and have since provided all associated maintenance for the system. Due to the complexity of the system and the fact it is nearing the end of life, only the original manufacturer have the relevant experience and knowledge to continue the maintenance.
