Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has announced an intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales). This contract pertains to the insourcing of ophthalmology cataracts outpatient clinics and theatre services at University Hospital Wales. It aims to support the Regional Cataract plan by providing treatment capacity for up to 1,000 patients, with a deadline for representations by 14th November 2025. This announcement is part of the award procurement stage and involves a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The buying authority is based in Cardiff, and the procurement falls within the 'services' main industry category, emphasising ophthalmologist services in the UK, specifically the region of UKL22.

This tender provides growth opportunities particularly for large healthcare providers capable of delivering ophthalmology services quickly and effectively, as indicated by the standing start requirement and the support of the Welsh Government. Companies already under the NHS Shared Business Services Framework have a distinct advantage in expressing interest, while businesses outside the EU are also considered, evidenced by the presence of one non-EU bid received electronically. In turn, this creates an opportunity for well-equipped firms in the healthcare sector to expand their operations into the public health arena in Wales and leverage existing frameworks to secure public sector contracts.
