Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has recently confirmed the awarding of a contract for "Planned Care Outsourcing - Spines" under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales). This award, focusing on the health services industry, specifically orthopaedic services within the Cardiff (UKL22) region, involves a framework agreement with competitive call-offs. The contract is effective from 1st October 2025 and aims to deliver healthcare services until 31st March 2026, subject to additional funding approval. The procurement process followed the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, circumventing the need to adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015/Procurement Act 2023, with Nuffield Health and Spire Cardiff Hospital being the successful suppliers based on comprehensive technical, commercial, and social value assessments.

This contract offers significant opportunities for large-scale healthcare providers who can deliver specialised orthopaedic services. Businesses with capabilities in providing comprehensive health services, including diagnostics, surgery, and patient follow-ups, will find this tender particularly rewarding. The framework agreement allows for scalability and an extended operational period until March 2026, pending funding confirmations, thus offering potential for sustained business growth. This tender is especially suited for enterprises capable of managing patient care pathways and reducing waiting lists efficiently within the stipulated timeframes. Additionally, the competition-rooted procurement method ensures opportunities for businesses adept at navigating such frameworks and delivering competitive service standards.
