## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has updated the contract for the Pathology Managed Service. This contract modification, classified under CPV code 85111800 (Pathology services), falls within the services industry category. The modification extends the contract, originally commencing on 15th December 2017, by an additional two years, making the new end date 14th December 2031. The extension allows Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board to align the remaining term of the contract with the equipment lifespan due to unforeseen boundary changes that resulted in acquiring additional NHS sites and equipment. The project locations include various sites across the UKL region, such as Princess of Wales Hospital, Prince Charles Hospital, and Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in pathology services and related equipment supply to engage in long-term contracts with health boards. The extension of the Pathology Managed Service Contract signals potential demand for advanced diagnostic equipment and services. Organisations proficient in providing high-quality pathology equipment and capable of adapting to the changing needs of large health trusts would find this tender beneficial. Businesses looking to expand within the healthcare sector or those already established could leverage this opportunity to foster relationships with key health boards such as the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and establish a strong foothold in an essential and growing industry.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is proposing to add an additional two (2) years on to the current contract to take the contract to 14th December 2031, to enable the Health Board to undertake an equipment refresh and align the remaining term of the contract with the equipment lifespan (7 years).This modification is being made under PCR 2015 regulation 72c, due to unforeseen circumstances that the Health Board was not aware of at the time of contract award. Specifically, due to Welsh Government boundary changes in 2019, the Health Board acquired additional NHS sites and associated equipment that could not be foreseen at the initial contract award stage.
