Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board commissioned continuation gastroenterology and endoscopy insourcing services, classified as gastroenterologist services. The work provides additional clinical capacity for diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, including diagnostic oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and biopsy procedures. The appointed provider supplies specialist endoscopists, endoscopy nurses, healthcare support workers, decontamination staff and administrative personnel. Services are delivered at University Hospital Llandough in Cardiff, covering weekday and weekend endoscopy procedures, and at the University Hospital of Wales, covering weekend-only services. The Health Board supplies the endoscopy theatre infrastructure, associated equipment and standard consumables needed for individual procedures. The requirement supports the Health Board while it recruits substantive gastroenterology consultants and undertakes longer-term procurement.

The procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to ID Medical Group Limited under a competitive framework call-off, with the award decision made and the contract signed on 15 September 2026. The stated service period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £1,378,000. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified as a repetition or continuation of existing services under the Provider Selection Regime Wales. Price was the award criterion. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and it was not from an SME. The arrangement covers a single service requirement across University Hospital Llandough and the University Hospital of Wales. ID Medical Group Limited is the active awarded supplier.

This award indicates demand for outsourced endoscopy capacity within NHS Wales and shows the delivery model the Health Board has used: an external clinical team working inside Health Board facilities, with the buyer providing theatres, equipment and standard consumables. A credible future competitor would need an established gastroenterology and endoscopy operation able to provide diagnostic OGD, flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy, alongside therapeutic interventions such as biopsies. Relevant capacity includes specialist endoscopists, endoscopy nurses, healthcare support workers, decontamination personnel and administrative support, coordinated across weekday and weekend sessions and across two hospital sites. Providers should be able to integrate with NHS clinical environments and sustain safe, organised procedure delivery at material scale. The single bid and selection on price also indicate that competitive cost control will be important alongside clinical delivery capability.
