Description
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB) is seeking to appoint a Lead Consultant to undertake a comprehensive survey, assessment, and prioritised upgrade plan for the High Voltage (HV) and Low Voltage (LV) electrical infrastructure at the Princess of Wales Hospital, Bridgend.
The hospital's existing electrical infrastructure, dating from approximately 1985, contains several single points of failure across both HV and LV systems, including ageing switchgear, insufficient resilience, and limited standby generation capacity. The appointed consultant will be required to carry out a full technical survey of the HV/LV network, standby generators, and associated infrastructure; identify risk-critical defects; and develop high-level costed solutions aligned with Welsh Health Technical Memoranda (WHTM).
Following the survey, the Lead Consultant will act as Lead Designer to develop and deliver approved short-term works aimed at improving resilience and reducing the immediate risk of supply failure. Duties will include preparation of design specifications, contractor competence assessment, tender documentation, project management, contract administration, site supervision, and oversight of testing and commissioning. The scope covers pre-contract services through to completion and defects-period support.
The consultancy team is expected to include Electrical Engineering (lead), Architectural, Structural/Civil, Fire Engineering, Project Management, Cost Management, and CDM Principal Designer services.
Tender submissions will be evaluated on a 60% price and 40% quality basis. Bidders must demonstrate relevant healthcare project experience, provide CVs of key personnel, and evidence delivery of similar engineering and infrastructure resilience schemes. A site visit is strongly recommended prior to submitting a fee proposal.
