## Summary

This procurement process, initiated by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services and hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, concerns the direct awarding of a contract for a Fire Alarm System Upgrade. This contract, facilitated on behalf of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, is located in Cardiff and surrounding areas in the United Kingdom. The focus is within the construction industry category and aims to upgrade essential fire alarm systems across various health board facilities. The contract period commences on 26th November 2025, with completion expected by 1st March 2027. The procurement process is currently at the award stage, having been recently completed with the contract valued at £359,143.21, with a specific focus on compliance with existing fire safety standards.

This tender presents opportunities particularly advantageous for large-scale businesses specialising in fire safety and alarm systems, and it is ideal for those with existing expertise in GENT Vigilon and Advanced MX Pro systems. Given that the award was conducted directly under the Procurement Act 2023, methods without competition highlight an opportunity for businesses who are pre-authorised or accredited partners, such as Morris Churchfield Fire, the incumbent service provider now awarded the contract. Potential business growth can be facilitated by aligning service offerings with the proprietary nature and technical requirements outlined, which may also appeal to businesses that maintain strong equipment certification and software access credentials.

## Notice

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) has direct award a contract directly to Morris Churchfield Fire Ltd for the replacement and upgrade of essential fire alarm systems across multiple Health Board facilities. The works will include the lifecycle replacement of obsolete fire alarm panels, devices, loop cards, and network components, ensuring continued compliance with BS 5839 and EN54 standards. Morris Churchfield are the incumbent and BAFE-accredited specialist contractor currently responsible for the maintenance of CTMUHB's fire alarm infrastructure, which comprises GENT Vigilon and Advanced MX Pro systems. Due to the proprietary nature of these systems and the requirement to maintain manufacturer certification, warranty, and software access rights, only authorised and approved partners such as Morris Churchfield are permitted to undertake the necessary works. The direct award is made under Procurement Act 2023, Schedule 5, Section 7(2), as a change in supplier would result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
