## Summary

The procurement process managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust) involved the direct award of a contract to FP Hurley & Sons Ltd for the replacement of an existing chiller unit at the Princess of Wales Hospital. This procurement falls under the category of works, specifically in ventilation and air-conditioning installation, within the region of UKL, United Kingdom. The procurement was driven by the urgent need to replace the aging and unreliable chiller infrastructure to mitigate risks and ensure continuity of service. The contract was signed on 18th November 2025, with the work period spanning from 19th November 2025 to 28th February 2026. This direct award was crucial to avoid potential failures that could severely impact hospital operations and patient safety.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in HVAC installation and energy-efficient solutions. Companies with expertise in supplying and implementing low-GWP refrigerant systems and those capable of executing large-scale mechanical and electrical works are well-suited to engage in similar procurement processes. Additionally, businesses expanding into public sector projects, particularly in healthcare infrastructure, could benefit from this type of direct award process, where reliable, swift execution is highly valued to minimise operational disruptions and support sustainability goals.

## Notice

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board have direct award a contract to FP Hurley & Sons Ltd for the replacement of the existing Carrier 30HS 161 air-cooled chiller at Princess of Wales Hospital. The works include the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a new air-cooled chiller using a low-GWP refrigerant, together with associated mechanical, electrical and craneage activities. This replacement is required due to the age and condition of the existing chiller, which poses increasing reliability, environmental, and operational risks. The new system will improve energy efficiency, ensure continuity of cooling to critical clinical areas and support NHS sustainability objectives

### Procurement Information

To address the critical issue of the imminent failure risk posed by the ageing and increasingly unreliable chiller infrastructure, NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), on behalf of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB), intend to direct award to FP Hurley & Sons Ltd, a trusted contractor, allowing the hospital to act swiftly and efficiently, minimising disruption and ensuring continuity of service. Any failure of this chiller would have serious consequences, as stable cooling is essential to maintain safe environmental conditions for patients, staff, medical equipment, and medicines. Unplanned downtime would jeopardise service delivery, compromise patient comfort and safety, and trigger costly emergency measures such as hiring temporary chillers.
