## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, under the title "Air circuit breakers," has concluded in the Award stage. The Health Board, located in Newport, UK, sought the replacement of defective air circuit breakers at YYF Hospital due to safety risks. Direct procurement was employed without competition as it was below the threshold, with ABB Limited chosen as the supplier. The procurement falls under the category of electrical machinery and equipment, with the contract beginning on 15th June 2026 and ending on 30th June 2026 for a value of £41,740.06. The process was carried out by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of the Health Board.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical machinery and equipment, particularly those capable of supplying goods promptly under tight deadlines. Large-scale businesses such as ABB Limited that have experience in delivering high-quality electrical components fit the supply criteria well due to the specificity and safety requirements of the components involved. For aspiring businesses seeking growth avenues, understanding elements of direct procurement and fulfilling niche demands in public sector health infrastructure can be particularly beneficial.

## Notice

Two new air circuit breakers are required for the generator changeover panel at YYF Hospital.The existing ABB Air Circuit Breakers (ACB) have been inspected and found to have a structural crack in the breaker chassis. This represents a significant safety and reliability risk, as the chassis is a critical component providing mechanical integrity, alignment of internal contacts, and containment during fault conditions.
