## Summary

Velindre University NHS Trust commissioned independent general cost consultancy and quantitative risk assessment support for the New Velindre Cancer Centre Programme. The services cover cost consultancy, financial assurance, financial reporting, evaluation of change control and quantitative risk assessment. The requirement is intended to provide a consistent approach through to project close, supported by detailed knowledge of the programme developed through earlier engagements. This is a professional financial consultancy service for a major healthcare capital programme, rather than construction delivery itself. The stated service classification is financial consultancy services. The work is associated with Velindre University NHS Trust’s cancer centre programme in Wales.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 18 August 2026 to Lee Wakemans Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under Schedule 5, paragraph 7 of the Procurement Act 2023. The award is for one lot. Its value is £64,000 excluding VAT and £76,800 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. A contract signature was scheduled for 4 September 2026. The buyer’s stated reason for using this route was that the selected supplier had developed extensive project knowledge through previous engagements. The tender status is complete and the award status is active.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for independent commercial and risk expertise within Velindre University NHS Trust’s cancer centre programme. Suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to provide cost consultancy alongside financial assurance, financial reporting, change control evaluation and quantitative risk assessment. Credibility will depend on strong understanding of complex healthcare capital programmes, reliable financial controls and the ability to produce clear reporting for programme decisions. Experience that gives a supplier detailed knowledge of the buyer’s programme or a comparable project would be particularly relevant, because continuity and consistency were central to the selection rationale. The requirement also shows that an SME can deliver this combination of specialist advisory services.
