Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust and located in Cardiff, is managing the procurement process for the "Insourcing of Theatre Procedures" initiative. This venture targets the healthcare services sector, specifically aimed at reducing orthopaedic surgery waiting lists under the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. The procedures will be carried out at the Princess of Wales Hospital in region UKL17. As of 23rd December 2025, the project is at the contract update stage. The contract commenced with the award to ID Medical Group Limited on 3rd December 2025, with a completion period of 120 days. The procurement used a limited, direct award method, facilitated without prior publication due to its urgent nature as specified by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, under CPV code 85110000.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those experienced in providing healthcare services and personnel supply. The contract requires an insourcing theatre staff team, along with specialist ward staff, to support the Welsh Government's initiative to eliminate a 104-week waiting list backlog in orthopaedic surgery. Companies with vetted, experienced, and policy-familiar staff are well-positioned to contribute effectively. This initiative not only addresses current healthcare demands but also strengthens the healthcare service provision, offering substantial contracts in both the short and medium term. Such opportunities can facilitate business growth in healthcare service delivery, reinforcing the sector's capacity and credibility.
