Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, based in Port Talbot, has completed a procurement process for the provision of private, safe, and secure transportation services for patients within the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Service Group. The process resulted in the award of a pilot contract to EZEC Medical Transport Services trading as EMED Group Ltd. The services fall under the industry categories of patient-transport vehicles and outpatient care services, with the contract running from 1st February 2025 to 30th September 2025. This procurement was conducted through a direct method, as it was below the threshold and carried out without competition, under the light-touch regime, with a total contract value of £120,000.

SMEs, like EMED Group Ltd, with capabilities in delivering consistent and safe transport services within prescribed regulatory frameworks and demanding service environments, are well-suited to compete for such tenders, particularly during subsequent competitive tender exercises following the pilot period assessment.
