Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has been awarded a contract for the "Provision of Medical Care into His Majesty's Prison (HMP) Cardiff." This award is under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, employing the Most Suitable Provider Process. The procurement concerns the services industry, classified under CPV code 85100000. The primary location for service delivery is HMP Cardiff in the UK, with Cardiff and Vale University Health Board acting as the decision-makers. The contract, effective from 25th June 2025, is set for a period of 720 days, valued at £838,000. The procurement was conducted without prior publication under a limited procedure due to existing service repetition and specific local needs.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with expertise in providing general medical care within secure environments such as prisons. With the emphasis on integrated care and continuity for detainees, businesses with a robust local infrastructure and familiarity with the South East Wales region are well-positioned to compete. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like ROATH HOUSE SURGERY, the successful supplier, could leverage their existing capabilities and local connections to deliver superior services, ensuring compliance with NHS goals for integrated health solutions. The contract also allows for hybrid and remote medical services, catering to establishments that can effectively implement telehealth innovations.

The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015/Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the award to a provider under the Most Suitable Provider Process, this notice serves as an award of contract under the PSR Wales. The award decision makers for this process is Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The award decision-makers' reasons for selecting the chosen provider and utilising the Most Suitable Provider Process were: the proximity to HMP Cardiff, existing infrastructure and staff, proven compliance with the service specification, capacity to undertake the full requirement, familiarity with the local health systems and the patient demographics. Additionally the Health Board aligns with the NHS goals for integrated care and it is perceived that utilising a local provider this will better support continuity of care for prisoners especially those transitioning in and out of the community. No providers were excluded from the procurement process; There were no declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals making the decision; (WA Ref:154184)",
