In plain English
NHS Wales needs a specialist to replace the control computer (PLC) and its software on a large industrial washing machine at Swansea Laundry. The machine processes 35,000 items daily, so the work must happen outside production hours. Delivery and training must be complete by 28 February 2027.
What the buyer wants
• Inspect and document the existing control system wiring and settings • Supply and install a new PLC (control computer) with compatible software • Integrate the new system with the washing machine and connected sorting equipment • Commission and test the complete installation to ensure it works properly • Train the on-site staff to operate and maintain the new system • Complete all work outside normal operating hours with zero disruption
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This contract requires advanced PLC and industrial automation expertise: most small tradespeople (builders, cleaners, general electricians) will lack the specialist technical knowledge and experience to bid. You must have demonstrable experience with industrial control systems in production environments, not just general electrical work.
Always check the tender documents.
