## Summary

The procurement process, managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services and hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, concerns a direct award contract for security cover during annual leave and sickness at Morriston and Singleton Hospitals. This falls under the business services industry category with a specific focus on security. The contract, valued at £68,814.90, was awarded to Rubicon Training Limited, a supplier based in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract period set from 7th August 2025 to 30th September 2025. This direct award was necessary to ensure continuity of security services while the health board initiates a subsequent tendering process.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the security services sector to position themselves for future competitive bidding. The need for specialised security training, as demonstrated by Rubicon Training Limited, underscores the importance of having staff well-versed in specific health board procedures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in security provision, particularly those capable of swiftly adapting to unique operational requirements within healthcare settings, would be well-suited to compete in subsequent rounds of tendering for similar contracts.
