## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, based in Port Talbot, has completed a procurement process for the provision of private, safe, and secure transportation services for patients within the Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Service Group. The process resulted in the award of a pilot contract to EZEC Medical Transport Services trading as EMED Group Ltd. The services fall under the industry categories of patient-transport vehicles and outpatient care services, with the contract running from 1st February 2025 to 30th September 2025. This procurement was conducted through a direct method, as it was below the threshold and carried out without competition, under the light-touch regime, with a total contract value of £120,000.

This tender presents potential business growth opportunities for companies specialising in transportation and medical logistics. Businesses experienced in providing secure patient transport solutions, particularly within the healthcare sector, could find similar opportunities attractive. SMEs, like EMED Group Ltd, with capabilities in delivering consistent and safe transport services within prescribed regulatory frameworks and demanding service environments, are well-suited to compete for such tenders, particularly during subsequent competitive tender exercises following the pilot period assessment.

## Notice

Mental Health and Learning Disabilities (MH&LD) Service Group often require the use of private transportation to safely transport patients from one placement to another due to the level of risk and patient need, whether this be from a general hospital to a psychiatric hospital (or vice versa due to medical need), or to a private placement. This notice is to award a contract for a pilot scheme for period 01/02/2025 to 31/09/2025 to review the service and determine future service requirement. This will establish a robust service specification and plan to then action a competitive tender exercise.
