Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board procured an insourced cardiology service for echocardiograms. The requirement covers delivery of echocardiogram services within the Health Board’s cardiology provision, supporting diagnostic capacity through an external service provider. It is a healthcare service procurement, classified under CPV 85100000. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership–Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, acted as a purchasing organisation, while Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is the buyer and service user. Delivery is within the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board area in Wales. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and concerns service delivery rather than the supply of equipment alone, so relevant providers are organisations able to deliver clinical echocardiography capacity as an insourced cardiology service.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. Health Now Limited was selected as supplier, with the contract signed on 27 August 2026. The contract value is £1,464,183 and its stated duration is 900 days. The procurement description identifies the route as Direct Award 2 under the Provider Selection Regime (Wales) Regulations 2025; the structured procurement method also records a selective restricted procedure. One electronic bid was recorded, from a non-EU foreign supplier, with no SME bid recorded. The award criterion was price. The process was subject to an eight-day standstill, amended because a bank holiday had initially been counted as a working day; the amended standstill was stated to end on 10 September 2026.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for outsourced cardiology diagnostic capacity, specifically echocardiograms, delivered as a managed clinical service rather than as an equipment-only purchase. Competitors would need the clinical capability, suitably qualified cardiology and echocardiography staff, equipment and operational capacity to provide echocardiograms within the Health Board’s service environment. Credibility would also depend on demonstrating reliable service delivery, sufficient throughput, governance and the ability to integrate an insourced service with existing cardiology provision. The previous outcome shows that the requirement was fulfilled by a large supplier through the stated public procurement route and evaluated on price, so future providers should be able to present a commercially competitive, scalable service model.
