## Summary

Hywel Dda University Health Board requires taxi and light goods transport services across Pembrokeshire. The service moves patients and staff, as well as medical specimens, blood products, medication, controlled drugs, documents and other healthcare-related goods across West Wales. It covers both routine journeys and urgent ad-hoc transport, with provision required around the clock throughout the year. This is a road transport services contract, managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on the Health Board’s behalf. The work is delivered in Pembrokeshire; the service description places its wider healthcare transport activity across West Wales.

The procurement is complete and S L Bell Minibusses was selected for the single lot. The award is pending. The award date is not stated. The contract is due to run from 16 October 2026 to 15 October 2027, with an option to extend by 12 months, to a maximum end date of 15 October 2028. The award value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The Health Board used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The lot is identified as suitable for SMEs, but no evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows demand for a single provider able to cover patient and staff journeys alongside time-sensitive healthcare logistics in Pembrokeshire. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need dependable taxi and light goods transport capacity, including the ability to respond to both planned journeys and urgent ad-hoc requests at any time of day or night, throughout the year. The scope includes sensitive healthcare consignments such as blood products, specimens, medication and controlled drugs, as well as documents and other health-related goods. The selected supplier is an SME, and the lot was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller transport business can be a fit for this scale of local service.
