Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Cardiology Insourcing" under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales). This specific award, valued at £162,932.00, will provide insourcing capacity for cardiology outpatient appointments at Cardiff and Vale. The procurement process was concluded with a contract award to HealthCare Business Solutions UK Ltd. The procurement method was limited, following an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under regulations specific to PSR Wales. Although originally signed on 10th January 2026, the award notice was duly issued on 12th June 2026, covering administrative healthcare services in the region of Cardiff, UK.

This contract represents significant growth opportunities for large-scale companies adept in healthcare services, specifically those with the capability to handle high-volume insourcing operations efficiently. As the awarded contractor, HealthCare Business Solutions UK Ltd stands to benefit from delivering outpatient cardiology services in Cardiff and Vale utilising existing facilities during vacant periods. The nature of the procurement method suggests that businesses with established relationships and knowledge of the NHS service frameworks are particularly well-positioned to capitalize on such opportunities under the PSR Wales framework. This could also encourage other businesses to align their services to strategic public healthcare needs and frameworks.
