## Summary

Velindre University NHS Trust procured specialised machinery for a mechanical engineering workshop at the new Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff. The requirement covers the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and associated training for specialist workshop machinery used by the Clinical Engineering workshop. The equipment is intended to integrate with machinery already in place, existing operational processes and the organisation’s software systems. This is a goods requirement for an engineering equipment supplier or machinery manufacturer able to provide an end-to-end solution rather than equipment supply alone. The procurement covers electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables, including related workshop machinery. Delivery and associated work are for the United Kingdom, with the principal operational setting being the new cancer centre in Cardiff.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 August 2026 to XYZ Machine Tools. Velindre University NHS Trust used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The procurement comprised one completed lot, identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award value is £110,000 excluding VAT, or £131,999.97 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 17 March 2027 to 16 July 2027. XYZ Machine Tools is the selected supplier. The published outcome records an active award, while the tender itself is complete. The process was conducted under Welsh devolved procurement regulations and the UK legal basis recorded for the procedure is the Procurement Act 2023.

This award indicates demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for specialist machinery supporting a Clinical Engineering workshop within a new cancer centre. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need credible capability to provide mechanical engineering workshop machinery as a complete package, including delivery, installation, commissioning and user training. They would also need to demonstrate that proposed equipment can integrate reliably with existing machinery, operational processes and software systems, rather than operate as a standalone purchase. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so a focused machinery manufacturer, specialist equipment supplier or systems-capable engineering business could be relevant. Practical strength lies in coordinating equipment supply with installation, technical integration, commissioning and knowledge transfer in a healthcare engineering environment.

## Notice

The requirement is for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and trainingassociated with specialist mechanical engineering workshop machinery for the newVelindre Cancer Centre. The equipment forms a critical part of the ClinicalEngineering workshop and must integrate seamlessly with existing machinery,operational processes, and software systems already in use by the organisation.
