NHS GG&C require the upgrade of the existing End of Life Satchwell Sigma Building and Energy Management Systems (BEMS), to the latest EcoStruxure BEMS Operating Platform, including the replacement of the all System Level Controllers, Front End database and system Graphics. By upgrading the BEMS from Satchwell SIGMA to EcoStruxure will ensure the Gartnavel Hospital Thomas Weldon Building and Lab Block is future-ready today providing better and faster performance; cybersecurity; cloud and predictive services; and turn buildings data into actionable intelligence. Recognised manufacturer accreditation of all systems, including the software tools for configuration, and access to software licenses, is a requirement of the project. Schneider Electric, as the manufacturer are the only organisation able to meet this criteria. Furthermore, as the site is a complex and live healthcare environment, sound working knowledge of the installed systems and their hosted plant is essential to minimise the risk of unforeseen downtime impacting patient care services. Schneider Electric installed the systems when the building was originally constructed, and, as the incumbent, has operated and maintained the building controls systems since. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde believe it is the only organisation able to demonstrate manufacturer qualified staff, in all of the required disciplines and systems, with access to the required software engineering tools and support, and in-depth knowledge of the building and current controls installation. Consequently awarding to another supplier would cost a significant amount money and disruption to NHSGGC Staff and Patients. Therefore the best course of action to insure compliance with procurement regulations, and ensure the installation building energy controls is provide by the timescales stated ,is to publish a voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice.

### Procurement Information

Additionally and in line with the practices of: Fairness; Openness and Transparency; the publication of this VEAT Notice has been balanced against the risk that publication of this VEAT Notice may, in fact, increase awareness of the proposed direct award and increase the risk of challenge.
