Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is in the procurement stage for the "Insourcing Theatre Staff" contract. This tender falls under the health services industry category and is situated in Wales, specifically in the region denoted as UKL14. The procurement was conducted utilising a mini competition under the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership's framework agreement for clinical procedures. The estimated contract value is £3,748,839 excluding VAT, with the contract's commencement anticipated for February 2026, concluding on 31st March 2027. The process follows the Provider Selection Regime Wales regulations, which started on 15th January 2026 and includes a standstill period with representations due by 26th January 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in providing insourced theatre staff solutions, particularly those with expertise in Ophthalmology, ENT, and Urology specialities. Larger businesses capable of supplying complete theatre teams could benefit greatly, especially given the focus on reducing waiting lists and referral to treatment times. The procurement method was limited, with the procedure carried out without a prior call for competition, indicating an opportunity for established service providers with proven capabilities. With technical, social value, and price among the evaluation criteria, businesses offering high-quality service and added social benefits will be well-suited to compete for this contract.
