## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has successfully completed a tender for the contract titled "Clinical Waste Collection, Transportation and Disposal for selected South Wales Field Hospitals and Vaccination Centres". This contract falls under the refuse and waste related services category and was designated for locations specifically in South Wales. The procurement process was conducted as a limited method without prior publication, initiated on 18th November 2020 and concluding on 31st August 2021. The contract, valued at £300,000, was officially signed on 14th December 2020.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and related services, particularly those with the capacity to handle clinical waste. Companies experienced in collection, transportation, and disposal processes, especially those skilled in emergency service provision due to the ongoing demands from health services, would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders similar to this one. The urgent requirements driven by the Covid-19 pandemic have highlighted the need for robust waste management solutions, creating a niche for capable suppliers in this sector.

### Procurement Information

The Covid19 pandemic is a serious illness and its consequences are life-threatening. From the outset of the pandemic, the clinical waste disposal industry, as a whole, and NHS Wales has experienced substantial increases in clinical waste. The virus also resulted in the requirement of emergency field hospitals and vaccination sites to be set up around the country within very short timescales. The additional sites and increased volumes of waste for alternative treatment, as generated by this virus, resulted in the lack of capacity of the current All Wales clinical waste collection and disposal contractor to take on the service of these additional sites. Due to the extreme urgency of the situation, and the pace at which Coronavirus spread within Wales, it was necessary for NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership to make a Direct Award for the service covered by this Contract Award notice. This situation is provided for under Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 ('Direct Award due to reasons of extreme urgency').
