POW-DCO-63706 - Boiler Replacement at Llanidloes War Memorial Hospital

Tender description

The existing boilers at Llanidloes Hospital are in extremely poor condition and have reached end of life. The existing Hamworthy Bradstone boilers are continually failing leading to ongoing call out and maintenance costs. Currently, 2 Nr. boilers are non-functional leading to concerns that further failures may impact the sites ability to operate safely - particularly moving into colder months. The efficiency of these boilers is also extremely poor leading to high energy consumption. The proposal is to replace these boilers with new high-efficiency models which provide a reliable source of heating for the site and reduce associated energy costs. The scope will also include local gas pipe/electric alterations to suit the new boiler layout and the installation of a gas solenoid valve to improve safety measures. The ambition is to complete this work during the summer period to avoid additional cost and disruption associated with temporary heating plant hire. Due to urgency of the requirement and the need to mobilise for summer installation, the proposal was to procure services via the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework maintained by the Welsh Procurement Alliance. This route has been utilised for several recent successful boiler replacement projects.
