Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, operating under Velindre University NHS Trust and located in Cardiff, has completed its tender process for establishing a Community Diagnostics Centre in South-East Wales. This procurement, titled "COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTICS CENTRE - CTM," falls under the health services category and is set to address significant diagnostic pressures within the region. The plan is to construct an imaging Community Diagnostic Hub alongside an innovative Endoscopy Suite. Operated under an open procedure, the award has been made, as of 25th November 2025, to Alliance Medical Limited, with a contract valued at £82,685,737. The procurement stage has moved from award to active, marking the beginning of contract execution. This opportunity, part of the Provider Selection Regime Wales, also indicates a standstill period up to 5th December 2025.

This procurement presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in high-quality health services and medical technology solutions. Companies experienced in diagnostic services and medical facility development could find substantial growth potential, particularly those capable of acting as independent service providers. The inclusion of both imaging and endoscopy services in the contract suggests a broad scope, appealing to well-established large enterprises with the capacity for comprehensive service delivery and collaborative engagement with NHS trainees. While this tender does not include small or medium enterprises based on the bid statistics, it affirms the necessity for partnership with established firms capable of fulfilling the rigorous technical and quality requirements set forth by NHS Wales.

Notice Title

COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTICS CENTRE - CTM

Notice Description

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB), acting on behalf of the three Health Boards in South East Wales is seeking to appoint an Independent Service Provider (ISP) as prime contractor to act as a design partner and contributor to the pathway redesign currently being scoped out for diagnostic services under Lot 1 to provide one imaging Community Diagnostic Hub (CDH). In addition, the CDH will also have at the same location, an ISP staffed Endoscopy Suite comprising of up to four rooms co-located with an NHS staffed two room Endoscopy Training Academy.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Diagnostic services across South-East Wales are under significant pressure, leading to extended waiting times for patients and impacting on a wide range of clinical pathways and services. To provide a sustainable solution to the pressures faced and to deliver further efficiencies through pathway changes, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, acting as lead for the contract on behalf of the three University Health Boards in the region (Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (AB UHB), Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAV UHB) and Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTM UHB)) wishes to commission a minimum of one imaging Community Diagnostic Hub (CDH) with the option to increase activity and the potential to expand to one further CDH over the course over the contract. The level of growth of activity will be dictated by service demand requirements and will be subject to approval by the Health Boards beyond the initial imaging CDH. In addition, the Health Boards wish to commission the development of a regional Endoscopy Suite comprising up to four rooms to be co-located with an NHS Endoscopy Training Academy with two dedicated training rooms. The CDH and Endoscopy Suite will be ISP staffed, with scope for rotation of NHS employees into these clinical spaces for training purposes. The Endoscopy Training Academy will be developed by the authority and made available to NHS staff for operational purposes once construction is complete. This model is viewed as being more efficient in achieving an accelerated training pathway for trainees in endoscopy without any lowering of standards whereby the co-location of training and service elements enhance decision making and progression to autonomous practice.
