## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract for Planned Care Outsourcing in Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) services under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This contract involves a framework agreement with competition and has been awarded to St Joseph’s Independent Hospital Limited and Nuffield Health. The procurement, categorised under health services, is intended to reduce patient waiting lists in Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The contract period runs from 1st October 2025 until 31st March 2026, and key dates include a formal notice of award published on 23rd December 2025. The procurement falls outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and is managed under the specific provisions of the procurement act relevant to the health service in Wales.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for organisations specialising in health services, particularly in managing ENT procedures. It is an ideal opportunity for large service providers capable of handling complex healthcare delivery and efficiency requirements. Businesses with a strong track record in technical delivery, cost management, and social value contributions are well-suited to engage in this procurement. As the contract covers a significant service delivery period and addresses fluctuating case numbers and funding conditions, firms with flexibility and robust infrastructure are likely to benefit the most. The framework agreement allows for segmentation of service provision over time, offering scope for strategic planning and expansion in health service contracts within the UK.
