## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract under urgent and direct procurement circumstances. This contract is for the replacement of an oil tank at East Glamorgan Hospital, aiming to address critical operational needs due to the failure of the existing tank. The project involves cleaning, decommissioning, removal of hazardous waste, and installation of a new oil tank at the hospital site, primarily for supporting steam boiler operations. Scheduled to begin on 26th May 2026, the contract period extends until 31st March 2027. The procurement process, following the Procurement Act 2023 guidelines, involved a direct award to the incumbent maintenance contractor, LCM Environmental Services Ltd, due to the urgent requirement and the need for compatibility with current infrastructure. This project falls under the construction industry category, specifically targeting works related to oil and gas infrastructure, aligned with Welsh devolved regulations.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialised in oil and gas infrastructure and specialist construction works. Given the nature of the direct award to LCM Environmental Services Ltd, companies operating as small- and medium-sized enterprises, like the contracted supplier, may find similar opportunities if they possess the requisite technical expertise and understanding of infrastructure compatibility issues. Firms capable of responding swiftly and aligning with stringent operational demands while ensuring compliance with the relevant regulatory framework will be well-positioned for future direct procurement processes conducted by NHS Wales and similar public authorities.

## Notice

NWSSP on behalf of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board intends to award a contract to LCM Environmental Services Ltd for the cleaning and decommissioning of existing oil tanks, removal and disposal of hazardous waste, and the preparation and installation of a new self-bunded oil tank and associated pipework at East Glamorgan Hospital. This requirement has arisen as a matter of urgency due to the failure and significant corrosion of the existing oil tank at East Glamorgan Laundry. The tank provides critical resilience for the site's steam boilers. In the event of a gas supply interruption, the boilers must be capable of operating on oil. Without this backup provision, there is a substantial risk to continuity of linen services, which are essential to the operation of hospitals and healthcare facilities across the organisation. Due to the urgent nature of the requirement and the operational risk associated with any delay, there is insufficient time to undertake a full competitive procurement exercise. LCM Environmental Services Ltd are the incumbent maintenance contractor, are fully familiar with the site and infrastructure, and are therefore best placed to mobilise immediately and deliver the works within the required timeframe. This requirement has been assessed against available procurement routes. Due to the specialist nature of the works, the urgency of the requirement, and the need to ensure compatibility with existing fuel infrastructure and systems, undertaking an open or competitive tender exercise has been deemed impractical. Following assessment, a direct award route has been selected under the Procurement Act 2023 Schedule 5, Section 7 (2) The public contract concerns the supply of goods, services or works by the existing supplier which are intended as an extension to, or partial replacement of, existing goods, services or works in circumstances where - (a) a change in supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving goods, services or works that are different from, or incompatible with, the existing goods, services or works, and (b) the difference or incompatibility would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in operation or maintenance. On this basis, a direct award to LCM Environmental Services Ltd is considered to be justified, proportionate, and necessary to mitigate critical operational risk.
