## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has successfully completed a direct award procurement process related to high voltage switchgear warranty support, maintenance, and emergency response services. This contract, which falls under the services category, is specifically aimed at supporting Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board's electrical infrastructure and will be delivered in the UK region of Cardiff. The award was finalised on 3rd August 2026, with the contract set to start on 19th August 2026 and continue until 18th August 2027. The procurement method was direct, falling below the threshold without competition, due to the incumbent supplier's detailed network knowledge, ensuring uninterrupted services.

This procurement presents business opportunities for organisations specialising in electrical maintenance, warranty support, and emergency response services, especially those with expertise in managing high voltage systems. Firms with capabilities in supporting critical healthcare infrastructure will find particular advantages, as the contract requires maintaining operational safety and reliability. Although this contract was directly awarded to the existing supplier, National Grid South Wales, businesses aiming to explore similar future opportunities should consider building a strong knowledge base and technical expertise in healthcare electrical systems to qualify for upcoming procurements as longer-term strategies are developed.

## Notice

NWSSP on behalf of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board intends to award this contract directly to National Grid South Wales under Section 41 and Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023. The contract relates to the continued provision of High Voltage maintenance, warranty support and emergency response services for the Health Board's existing electrical infrastructure. National Grid is the incumbent provider and has detailed knowledge of the Health Board's High Voltage network, including system configuration, maintenance history, asset condition, warranty arrangements and operational requirements. A change of supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties in the operation and maintenance of the existing infrastructure, including the transfer and validation of asset records, maintenance information, warranty documentation and site-specific network knowledge across multiple hospital sites. The direct award is necessary to maintain continuity of support for critical electrical infrastructure that underpins essential healthcare services, minimise operational risk and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the Health Board's estate whilst a longer-term procurement strategy is developed
