BCU-ITT-63595 - WREXHAM MAELOR HOSPITAL PHARMACY BOILER REPLACEMENT
Authority: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (Education)·On behalf of: Velindre University NHS Trust
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionBetsi Cadwaladr University Health Board requires a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to undertake the replacement of the existing heating plant serving the Pharmacy Department at Wrexham Maelor Hospital. The project involves the removal of three existing Remeha Gas 210 ECO natural gas boilers and the installation of three new Remeha Gas 210 Ace 120/4 sectional boilers within the Pharmacy Plantroom located on the second floor of the hospital.
The works comprise a turnkey mechanical and electrical installation project and will include the phased removal and replacement of the existing boilers, modification and reconnection of associated pipework and services, integration with the existing Building Management System (BMS), alterations to electrical supplies where required, testing and commissioning, production of record drawings and operation and maintenance manuals, and all associated builders' works necessary to complete the installation. The successful contractor will also be responsible for fulfilling the role of Principal Contractor under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and for preparing and implementing the Construction Phase Plan.
The replacement works will be undertaken within a live hospital environment and must be carefully planned to maintain continuity of service to the Pharmacy Department. The installation will be carried out on a phased basis to ensure that two of the three boilers remain operational at all times, allowing the heating system to continue functioning throughout the duration of the project. Any temporary interruptions to services must be agreed in advance with the Health Board and undertaken in accordance with site operational requirements.

How Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board buys Construction work (CPV 45) — and who usually turns up
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s own published record, next to the Wales (Cymru) market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Construction work (CPV 45) →
How the contest usually goes
Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Coverage and what to read with care
- Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
- Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
- “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
