## Summary

Velindre University NHS Trust bought interim security services for Whitchurch Hospital in Cardiff. The work covers round-the-clock manned guarding, security patrols, CCTV monitoring, incident response, access control, responding to fire alarms, building inspections and security reporting. Its purpose is to maintain a safe and secure environment and protect the Trust’s assets, infrastructure, staff, contractors and visitors. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement on the Trust’s behalf. The requirement is for on-site security operations at the hospital, combining continuous staffing and monitoring with patrols, emergency response and routine inspections. This is a security-services contract, rather than a supply of security equipment alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Orbis Protect Limited through a limited procedure without a prior competition. The stated reason was extreme urgency: the Trust needed uninterrupted security provision and did not have time to run a full competitive process. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 13 to 31 October 2026. The recorded contract value is £130,000. The evaluation basis listed quality at 40% and price at 60%. The lot is marked cancelled in the procurement data, while the awards and contracts are recorded as active; the contract award and signature are reported here as recorded. The contract details were administratively amended to correct the contracting authority to Velindre University NHS Trust, with no change to scope, value or duration.

This award shows demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for short-term, continuous hospital security during an urgent service gap. A credible supplier for a returning requirement would need to mobilise quickly and sustain 24/7 manned guarding alongside patrols, CCTV monitoring, access control and prompt incident and fire-alarm response. The work also calls for building inspections and clear security reporting, with staff able to protect a live healthcare site and its patients, workforce, visitors, contractors and assets. The award went to Orbis Protect Limited after a limited, non-competitive procedure, and the stated urgency makes rapid continuity of service central to the requirement. Suppliers with the operational capacity to cover all these functions and respond reliably to an urgent transition would be best placed to compete if comparable security needs arise again.

### Procurement Information

Due to the urgent requirement to maintain continuous security provision at Whitchurch Hospital, an interim contract was awarded to ensure the safety and security of patients, staff, visitors, premises and Trust assets. The immediate need for uninterrupted security services did not allow sufficient time to conduct a full competitive procurement process, and the award was therefore made under the negotiated procedure without prior publication on grounds of extreme urgency.
