This initiative aims to support Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board by delivering insourced urology diagnostic services to improve access for urgent suspected cancer cases.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in providing diagnostic and supporting clinical staff within urology. The procurement is an excellent opportunity for businesses adept at leveraging their technical capabilities to meet the demands of reducing waiting times and supporting elective recovery plans. While the current completion of this procurement favours larger organisations like ID Medical Group Limited, it sets a precedence for similar future opportunities where firms that provide value, quality, and service sustainability may vie to compete effectively.
