## Summary

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board commissioned replacement automatic circuit breakers (ACBs) in two low-voltage substations at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. The work is an electrical infrastructure upgrade, covering the replacement equipment and associated installation work. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. The requirement combines electrical works with installation and repair or maintenance activity, and is focused on improving the substations’ electrical systems. Delivery is in Wales.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ABB Electrification Service. The Health Board used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026, with a contract period from 27 July to 16 December 2026. Its value is £41,342.89 excluding VAT (£49,611.47 including VAT). The award is active and relates to one lot. The published procurement information does not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria; no competitive evaluation outcome is reported.

For suppliers seeking similar electrical works for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, this award demonstrates demand for replacement of critical low-voltage substation equipment at a hospital site. A credible competitor would need proven capability to replace ACBs in operational healthcare infrastructure, with suitably qualified and experienced electrical staff and the ability to plan and carry out installation safely in substations. Experience with low-voltage systems, electrical maintenance and building services installation would be directly relevant. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this requirement, so the selection provides evidence of the contractor chosen for the work, rather than a benchmark for competing bids or stated evaluation weightings.
