Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract for "Planned Care Outsourcing - General Surgery" under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) 2025 regulations. This procurement falls under the health services category, CPV code 85100000, and it is directed towards reducing patient waiting lists in Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, located in the UK region UKL22. The procurement process was conducted under a framework agreement with competition, not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015/Procurement Act 2023. Notably, this contract covers activities from October 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, with key milestones including a contract value uplift and confirmed awards to providers Practice Plus Group, Nuffield Health, and HMT Sancta Maria, collectively contributing a value of GBP 1,094,927.46.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses within the healthcare services sector, particularly those with capabilities in outsourcing services and managing surgical and diagnostic procedures. Companies well-versed in handling technical, commercial, and social value requirements will find this contract valuable for growth, as it emphasises efficiency in delivering safe and effective care, managing workforce, and ensuring robust reporting procedures. The framework also anticipates the possibility of extending service provisions if further funding is available, making it particularly attractive for large-scale operations such as those of previous successful bidders Practice Plus Group and Nuffield Health. Engaging in such procurement processes can strengthen a firm's footprint in government healthcare projects and enable access to a significant regional market within Wales.
