Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has announced the award of a contract for "Planned Care Outsourcing – Urology." The procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime (Wales) Regulations 2025, specifically for health services, with the assigned legal basis under CELEX 32014L0024. The contract is part of a framework agreement with competition, awarded to ST JOSEPH'S INDEPENDENT HOSPITAL LIMITED. This contract covers the period from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2026 and aims to address urology procedure backlogs in Cardiff, Wales (UKL22). The contract value amounts to £192,737.23, and it involves delivery under the framework established by NHS Wales. The most recent update was on 23rd December 2025, detailing the confirmed awards under the stipulated regulations, ensuring compliance with local health service demands.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for large-scale organisations specialising in health services, particularly those with capabilities in urology care. The project is designed to engage providers through a rigorous assessment of technical proficiency, commercial competitiveness, and social value contributions, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses focused on high-quality, efficient healthcare delivery. Having been awarded to large providers like St Joseph’s Independent Hospital, organisations with similar profiles or those looking to establish a presence in the Welsh healthcare sector might find additional prospects if further competitions arise for similar services.
