Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Insourcing of Cataract Procedures" was conducted by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. This tender falls under the services category, specifically "Ophthalmologist services," and is designated for completion in the Swansea Bay University Health Board Area. The contract, valued at £400,000 GBP, was awarded to ID MEDICAL GROUP LIMITED and involves specific requirements for completing approximately 720 cataract cases by 31st March 2026, including pre-assessments and surgeries. The procurement stage is at the contract update phase as of 2nd February 2026, following a direct award without prior competition due to the urgency driven by Welsh Government funding constraints and technical reasons limiting competition.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in ophthalmic services, particularly those adept in handling high volumes of cataract procedures. Firms providing comprehensive services, including pre-assessment clinics, both local and general anaesthesia surgeries, and postoperative care, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future. ID MEDICAL GROUP LIMITED, an SME, successfully secured this contract, highlighting the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises to leverage specialised expertise in competitive award processes without prior publication.
