## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has conducted a procurement process under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) for health services specifically targeted at orthopaedic hips and knees, as outlined by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This procurement focuses on planned care outsourcing to reduce patient waiting lists and involves a call off from a framework agreement with a competition. The procurement covers services up to 31st March 2026, with the contract period beginning on 1st October 2025. This strategic initiative aims to uplift the original contract value through a Confirmation of Change Notice (CCN), ensuring continued quality service delivery in the Health services sector, particularly in the UK region of Cardiff (UKL22).

For businesses looking to participate in such tenders, this presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for large-scale providers in the health services industry. The procurement strategy favours providers who demonstrate a high level of technical, commercial, and social value scores, ensuring only top-notch service providers gain awards. Businesses such as large hospitals or healthcare groups focusing on orthopaedic services, like St Joseph's Independent Hospital Limited, Practice Plus Group, and Nuffield Health, were successful in securing contracts, marking a lucrative opportunity for similar organizations to expand their footprint within the public healthcare service sector. Engaging in such tenders can facilitate increased visibility and recognition within the healthcare industry while contributing to broadening service offerings and enhancing business credentials.
