Tender description

Supply and installation of anti‑ligature safety mirrors across all wards at Hafan y Coed, Llandough. The works address blind‑spot risks identified during an HIW inspection and include fitting a range of dome, quarter‑dome, and wall‑mounted mirrors to improve visibility and enhance patient and staff safety. Lot 1: Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is undertaking the supply and installation of anti‑ligature safety mirrors across all wards within Hafan y Coed, University Hospital Llandough. This requirement follows inspection findings that identified blind‑spot risks within the mental‑health inpatient environment and highlighted the need to enhance observation and patient safety. The project includes the installation of a comprehensive range of specialist mental‑health‑grade mirrors, including full dome, half dome, quarter dome, wall‑mounted and half‑face outdoor mirrors. These mirrors are designed for high‑risk clinical environments, offering enhanced durability, anti‑ligature features and improved visibility to support safer observation practices. Installation will take place across ten wards, ensuring consistent coverage and the removal of concealed areas. Works will be carried out in phases to accommodate product availability, with appropriate planning and coordination to minimise disruption in live ward settings. All installation activities will be supported by detailed risk assessments and scheduled to maintain patient and staff safety throughout. The mirrors selected are long‑life, robust products that support sustainability objectives by reducing the need for frequent replacement. This procurement forms part of the Health Board’s wider commitment to improving patient safety, meeting inspection recommendations, and enhancing the therapeutic environment across mental‑health inpatient services.
