Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, based in Cardiff, is managing a significant procurement titled "Regional Outsourcing Cataracts" in the services industry category. The project is under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025 and spans multiple locations across Wales, identified as regions UKL16, UKL15, UKL21, and UKL22. The procurement has progressed to the contract award stage, with a contract period starting on 5th August 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026. The awarded contract, dated 4th August 2025, is structured as a call-off from a framework agreement with competition, amounting to £40,000,000. It is noteworthy that the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015/Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale healthcare service providers, such as those with expertise in ophthalmology and cataract procedures. The contract's size and scope suggest a considerable engagement for suppliers capable of delivering specialised medical services on a regional scale. Businesses with existing framework agreements in health services who can operate across various regions in Wales are particularly well-positioned. Additionally, the focus on a framework agreement with competition highlights the need for competitive pricing and efficient service delivery, making it an attractive proposition for companies looking to expand their footprint in public healthcare procurement.
