## Summary

The contracting process for providing medical care into His Majesty's Prison (HMP) Cardiff involved NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. This contract, classified under health services, was awarded using the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, specifically utilising the "Most Suitable Provider Process." The award was made to Roath House Surgery, selected for their proximity to HMP Cardiff, familiarity with local health systems, and capacity to meet service specifications. The official award was confirmed on 30th July 2025, following an initial intention to award notice on 10th July 2025, with the contract period set for 720 days, valued at £838,000.

This procurement opportunity can significantly contribute to business growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in health services. The requirement for 15 clinical sessions per week, alongside additional support services such as remote telephone support to nursing staff and hybrid GP sessions during weekends and bank holidays, offers consistent and substantial business. Healthcare providers with a strong understanding of integrated care within the prison sector and a robust infrastructure capable of supporting continuity of care will find this opportunity highly beneficial. The contract allows the awarded entity to appoint a Lead GP as Clinical Director, providing not just service delivery but also strategic technical engagement, which could serve to enhance the provider's industry reputation.

## Notice

HMP Cardiff is a Category B Prison, holding male adult detainees (remand or those sentenced to less than 2 years), who are drawn predominantly from the surrounding court catchment area in South East Wales, but also from the Southwest of England. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAVUHB) is responsible for holding the current contract for the provision of General Medical Services to His Majesty's Prison Cardiff (HMP).
