## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a direct award procurement process for the ongoing maintenance of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. This contract, crucial for the operations of the University Hospital of Wales (UHW), has been awarded to Clarke Energy Limited. Located in Cardiff, Wales, the tender falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of electrical distribution equipment. The contract commenced on 4th August 2025 and will conclude on 30th May 2027, with a total value of £631,200. This procurement aligns with Welsh devolved regulations and adheres to central government guidelines, employing a direct award method due to the technical complexity and specialized requirements of the CHP system initially implemented by Clarke Energy in 2008.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities primarily to firms with expertise in handling complex energy systems and those possessing specialised knowledge of CHP systems and their maintenance. Large-scale companies with the capacity to manage comprehensive service contracts over extended periods would find this tender particularly beneficial. The direct award approach and the requirement for unique technical knowledge mean that businesses with prior experience in specialised equipment, especially those which were original suppliers or have deep familiarity with the existing systems, are well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities.

## 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, a two-year operational and maintenance agreement has been 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.
