OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is spearheaded by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, located in Cardiff, UK. The contract, under the title "Planned Care Outsourcing - Ophthalmology," is categorised under the health services industry. The procurement stage is at the "Award" phase, with the intention to finalise contracts. A mini-competition was conducted under the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Framework Agreement to manage a backlog of ophthalmology procedures. The primary goal is to address patient waiting lists within the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. This intention to award notice falls under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, and the procurement method involved was a limited process, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition. The contracting process was completed on 15th July 2025, and the providers have until the end of September 2025 to complete the procedures, with a potential extension to March 2026 subject to further approval.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the healthcare services sector, particularly those specialising in ophthalmology. The procurement favours entities capable of fulfilling surgical and diagnostic service outsourcing. With New Medical Systems Limited and Spamedica Ltd already named as awardees, competitive businesses with robust frameworks in healthcare service delivery, particularly small to medium enterprises or large scale providers, would stand to benefit from similar contracts. This process provides a platform for business growth by reducing procedure backlogs and offering healthcare providers a chance to engage in substantial projects within the NHS framework. This opportunity is indeed vital for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the Welsh healthcare system, while also contributing to public health improvements by enhancing service delivery efficiency.
