## Summary

The Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board, represented by NHS Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services, conducted a procurement process for a specialist locum consultant in Gastroenterology. The tender, titled "Locum consultant Gastroenterology," falls under the services category and has been completed. The procurement method used was a limited process without prior publication of a call for competition. The urgency of the requirement led to the cancellation of the tender stage, and the contract has been awarded to 'supreme locums'. The procurement aims to fill a critical gap in healthcare provision, with a contract value of £350,000 signed on 31st March 2023.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant opening for medical personnel service providers, particularly those offering specialist locum consultancy services in Gastroenterology. Businesses equipped to provide high-quality medical professionals for short-term deployment within the healthcare sector would find this tender suitable for growth opportunities. With a focus on urgent and critical healthcare needs, potential suppliers must demonstrate a track record of successfully fulfilling specialist medical staffing requirements to compete effectively in this competitive environment.
