Procurement Scope & Specification
Executive Summary: Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board: "BCU-ITT-64089 - North Wales Medical School - West (YG)". Published status: active. Published value: £2,000,000. 1 published lot. Recorded submission deadline: 19 Oct 2026, 12:00 BST. Published submission portal: etenderwales.ukp.app.jaggaer.com.
Official Requirement Description:
Bangor University (BU) and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) are working in partnership to deliver the North Wales Medical School (NWMS), an established Welsh Government-funded programme designed to increase medical education and training capacity across North Wales.
The works comprise of the alterations and adaptations of the existing building to form a new medical training centre. All activities must be planned for a live hospital environment, coordinating outages and access with Estates/ICT, and must comply with site rules, CDM, and applicable NHS W /BCUHB technical standards.
The Ysbyty Gwynedd contract comprises the development of additional teaching accommodation together with the refurbishment of the existing education facilities.
The existing education accommodation at YG has a fragmented layout, which limits the functionality and effectiveness of the current teaching environment. A review of the available accommodation against the space requirements necessary to support the teaching and learning activity associated with the curriculum has also identified that the existing rooms and overall available space are undersized.
In addition, the existing education facilities are located along a corridor which is also used by patients, staff and carers as a route to and from the Endoscopy Department. The Estates Department has confirmed that there is no alternative route available, which presents an additional consideration in the planning and development of the education environment.
The proposed works include:
• Extension onto the existing roof area to provide additional teaching accommodation.
• Refurbishment and improvement of the existing education spaces.
• Reconfiguration and enhancement of the education environment to address the current fragmented layout and improve its suitability for teaching and learning activities.
• Improvements to the education accommodation to support the space requirements associated with the NWMS curriculum.
The scheme will increase the available teaching capacity at Ysbyty Gwynedd and provide an improved and more appropriately sized education environment to support the delivery of the NWMS programme.

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 report one bid by definition and are left out. Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

Method and what to read with care
- Two columns, no blending. The authority column walks its own record only: notices in the 4-digit class, then the 2-digit division, then all categories (36 months, per lot, contested only), and as a last resort its 24-month row across all categories (per notice, every route). The market column is the notice’s primary delivery ITL1 × the same class, then division (36 months). Nothing is filled from the UK-wide class; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable.
- Per lot, contested only. Find a Tender publishes bid counts per lot; a seven-lot tender is seven contests. Procedures awarded without competition (limited / direct) are excluded from bids, price pairs and decision days — they report one bid by definition. Frameworks and DPS are a separate population from contracts (6–7 bids per lot against 2–4) and only the notice’s own kind is shown.
- 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). Award-vs-estimate pairs need a lot estimate, one active award on the lot, one canonical supplier and a gap under 60 %; about 30 % of pairs are exact matches (the buyer published the award at the estimate). n is on every figure; below 3 the tile is muted, never hidden.
- Pounds. The expected award applies the authority’s median movement (or the region’s, when the authority has fewer than 3 pairs) to this notice’s estimate; the middle half uses the region’s quartiles. A multi-lot notice publishes an envelope, so the movement is applied per lot, never to the total. A benchmark, not a recommended price.
- “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.
