Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured endoscopy services delivered by an insourcing provider within the Health Board’s facilities. The requirement is for clinical endoscopy activity, classified as gastroenterology services, to support service delivery across the Health Board. The buyer is Swansea Bay University Health Board, based in Port Talbot, and the work takes place at its facilities in the Swansea Bay area. The procurement concerns the provision of services rather than equipment or construction. The stated rationale is that the Health Board already has an endoscopy insourcing contract with activity delivered across its facilities, and the new arrangement continues this existing service. The requirement was structured as one lot covering the Health Board’s facilities.

The process is recorded as complete, and ID Medical Group Limited was selected as supplier. The notice describes an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, subject to a standstill; its text says the contract had not yet formally been awarded, while the contract data records it as signed on 30 September 2026. The proposed contract period is 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £1,352,655.06. The buyer used a framework agreement call-off by direct award without a competition, citing continuation of existing services. Price was the stated award criterion. The notice says representations could be made by midnight on 9 October 2026 during the standstill period. One bid was recorded for the lot.

This award demonstrates demand from Swansea Bay University Health Board for externally provided endoscopy capacity across its facilities, using an established insourcing arrangement to support clinical service delivery. The selected supplier was the existing provider, which the buyer considered to be meeting the current contract and likely to meet the proposed requirement to a sufficient standard against the key and basic selection criteria. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need to show credible delivery of endoscopy services in a hospital setting, the ability to provide clinical capacity across the Health Board’s facilities, and evidence of reliable performance against service requirements. The route used here was a direct award from a framework without competition, so framework access and a strong record delivering the buyer’s existing service are commercially relevant.
