## Summary

Public Health Wales has initiated a procurement process for the hire of fully managed all-inclusive vehicles to support Diabetic Eye Screening Wales (DESW). The procurement aims to reduce the backlog of delayed participants and enhance accessibility by deploying mobile units in areas lacking suitable clinic venues. The tender, identified by PHW-STA-2324-045, falls under the industry category of miscellaneous health services (CPV code 85140000). With a simplified procurement method due to specific circumstances, the service agreement includes logistical planning, pre-agreed locations, transport, resource allocation, fuel charges, and cleaning. The value of the contract for a period of 6 months, with potential extensions, totals £381,400. The initial service experienced setbacks necessitating this new arrangement with Tenovus, the awarded supplier, actively contracted since 26 January 2024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies offering managed vehicle fleets and logistical support in healthcare services. Businesses equipped to provide reliable mobile units, manage logistical coordination, and ensure consistent operations would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, companies with experience in healthcare service delivery and those capable of addressing the specific needs of remote or under-served areas would find this tender aligns well with their service offerings, providing substantial avenues for expanding their market presence in the public health sector.

Due to the issues experienced and costs and cancelling of appointments, this provider was not suitable for continuation.
