This procurement, classified under hospital and related services, is set in Cardiff, UK, and is currently in the 'Award' stage. The contract, worth £8 million, was officially signed on 24th June 2022, with a potential for extension. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to urgent requirements arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses in the healthcare sector looking to provide independent hospital services, including facility rentals for surgical theatres, inpatient services, and outpatient clinics. Companies with capabilities in healthcare management, surgical operations, and patient care logistics are well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can meet the contract demands for quality and financial criteria.

All equipment, consumables, and theatre staff (excluding surgeon and anaesthetist) shall be provided. b) Facility rental for Inpatient services - inpatient capacity (12 rooms) and 5 day case pods for use by CVUHB.
