### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Health Board's Nephrology and Transplant Directorate currently manages the provision for satellite dialysis units across six satellite units in South East Wales. These units provide maintenance haemodialysis for adult patients with chronic established renal failure for which these units offer patients vast health and physiological benefits. The aim of providing equitable access for patients is designed to be met by locating satellite units in the community, allowing the provision of accessible renal services. As such, the units are strategically located across South East Wales within 30 minutes of most patients' homes. In 2016, the Health Board awarded a contract with B Braun following a competitive dialogue tender to commission five (of which three were new) fully managed service satellite renal dialysis facilities with minimum commissioned treatment numbers. Following a review of current capacity and predicted growth above the projected patient numbers within the original tender process, the Health Board wished to increase their capacity in two units, that of Cardiff South Unit and Pontypool Unit by utilising the home haemodialysis training rooms for further stations.

### Procurement Information

In addition to this, there are frequent discussions with units, consultants to ensure slots/options maximised and a weekly meeting to discuss slots/plan/capacity, liaise with ward, CKD, Home and Transplant team.
