The award, dated 31st March 2026, highlights the urgent requirement to replace non-compliant mats in inpatient areas to meet Infection Prevention & Control standards. Located in Cardiff, this procurement falls under the 'Health' industry category and utilised a limited procurement method without prior publication, leveraging the YPO Gymnasium Equipment, Maintenance and Services Framework. The contract, valued at £33,199.52, was signed on 10th February 2026. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing and supplying safety and hygienic products suitable for clinical environments, particularly those specialising in mental health care settings. Foams4sports Ltd, an SME based in Ashton-Under-Lyne, was awarded the contract, evidencing opportunities for small to medium enterprises. Companies that can offer compliant, durable, and wipeable clinical-grade matting solutions should consider similar tenders to expand their business within the healthcare sector, as they align with quality and governance standards required by public health bodies. ## Notice Procurement of high-care safety matting, including delivery and installation, to replace degraded non-wipeable mats across mental health inpatient areas in Cardiff and Vale to meet Infection Prevention & Control standards. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has awarded a contract for the supply, delivery, and installation of high-care safety matting for use across mental health inpatient areas at Hafan y Coed and Barry Hospital. The existing matting was identified during regulatory inspection as degraded, non-wipeable, and no longer compliant with Infection Prevention & Control (IP&C) requirements, creating hygiene and safety risks within high-care clinical environments. The awarded contract provides for the replacement of all non-compliant mats with durable, wipeable, non-porous clinical-grade safety matting suitable for mental health high-care settings. The scope includes the manufacture, supply, transportation, and full installation of matting across multiple wards to ensure compliance with HIW recommendations and Health Board standards for cleanliness, safety, and patient wellbeing. The procurement supports the Health Board's commitment to maintaining safe and hygienic clinical environments, improving infection control, reducing risk, and ensuring the suitability of high-care areas for vulnerable patient groups. Installation will be completed within required Health Board timescales to ensure continuity of service and compliance with clinical governance expectations. ### Procurement Information The Health Board has used the YPO Gymnasium Equipment, Maintenance and Services Framework (1262), Lot 10, as it provides a fully compliant and efficient route to market with pre-assessed suppliers who meet required quality, financial, and governance standards. Due to the urgent need to replace non-compliant high-care matting and the requirement to complete expenditure within the current financial year, the framework offered the most practical and proportionate procurement method. Market benchmarking confirmed limited availability of suppliers able to meet the specification and timescales required. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=163156 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Feb 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £33,199 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP-PROCUREMENT SERVICES (HOSTED BY VELINDRE UNIVERSITY NHS TRUST) | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF14 4HH | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Heath | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff North | | Delivery location | TLL22 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | FOAMS4SPORTS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 37 - Musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials and accessories ### Codes - 37535200 - Playground equipment ## Release History - 31 Mar 2026 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=163156 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR604078 PURCHASE OF HIGH-CARE SAFETY MATTING ACROSS MENTAL HEALTH SITES IN CARDIFF AND VALE - Procurement of high-care safety matting, including delivery and installation, to replace degraded non-wipeable mats across mental health inpatient areas in Cardiff and Vale to meet Infection Prevention & Control standards. ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://api.sell2wales.gov.wales/v1?lang=cy/Notice?id=ocds-kuma6s-163156 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
