Weishaupt Burners at Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda and Royal Glamorgan Hospital

NWSSP on behalf of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) has awarded a contract via a Direct Award to Weishaupt (UK) Ltd for the provision of service maintenance of Weishaupt Burners at Ysbyty Cwm Rhondda and Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board have utilised Section 41 and Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023.

This is justified under:

Schedule 5, Paragraph 6 – absence of competition for technical reasons; and

Schedule 5, Paragraph 7 – where a change of supplier would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties.

The contractor is the incumbent and provides specialist, manufacturer-led servicing of Weishaupt systems across the sites. Due to recent capital upgrades and reliance on proprietary components and expertise, no reasonable alternative suppliers exist.

A change in supplier would create a high risk of incompatibility, operational disruption, and non-compliance.
