Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board commissioned a comprehensive vasectomy service for eligible patients across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, primarily in primary care settings. The service covers the full patient pathway: assessment and counselling, the vasectomy procedure, post-operative follow-up and aftercare. It is intended to provide safe, accessible and equitable minor surgery, support patient choice and timely access, and integrate with existing healthcare referral pathways. The provider must work with primary care and other relevant services, maintain continuity of care, and operate robust clinical governance arrangements. This is a medical practice service, including related services, delivered for the Health Board’s patients in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.

The procurement has reached award and contract signature under the Provider Selection Regime Wales. Ashgrove Medical Group was selected as the highest-scoring provider after two bids were assessed; the contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and is active. The estimated procurement value was £118,500, while the signed contract value is £237,000. The service was intended to run from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027, with an option for a further 12 months subject to performance, continuing need and funding. The procedure was an open procedure. Evaluation used Commercial (30%), Technical Quality (55%) and Social Value (15%) criteria. Electronic bids were required, and bids could be submitted in English or Welsh.

This award demonstrates established demand from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for an end-to-end vasectomy pathway delivered mainly through primary care. A credible future competitor would need suitably qualified clinical staff able to assess and counsel patients, perform vasectomy procedures safely, provide follow-up and aftercare, and meet relevant national clinical guidance. Strong clinical governance, patient-safety systems, equitable access arrangements and person-centred care would be central to a competitive offer. Providers should also be able to manage referrals, communication and continuity of care across primary care and related services. The outcome shows that both bidders met mandatory requirements, while the successful SME combined strong technical quality, social value and the most competitive commercial proposal.
