Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is managing a procurement process titled "Insourcing Theatre Staff," pertaining to the health industry category. Located in Cardiff, this initiative supports the Hywel Dda University Health Board's efforts to insource theatre staff across various specialties, including Ophthalmology and ENT. This process follows a limited procurement method using the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership's Framework Agreement. The contract, valued at GBP 3,748,839 excluding VAT, is set to commence in February 2026 and end by 31 March 2027. An intention to award notice was published on 15 January 2026, initiating the standstill period with a deadline for representations by 26 January 2026.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those capable of providing full theatre teams. Large-scale organisations or those with experience in health services can leverage this to expand their operations within the UK. Given the award process under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, businesses that did not initially participate may still have future opportunities should similar contracts arise. The procurement process, excluding traditional competition, provides a streamlined pathway for eligible suppliers like ID Medical Group Limited, the indicated supplier, to engage directly, enhancing business growth through collaborative health service delivery.
