## Summary

The procurement process led by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, pertains to the "Regional Cataracts Outsourcing 2" project. This project involves the outsourcing of cataract procedures for various Welsh University Health Boards including Aneurin Bevan, Cardiff and Vale, and Cwm Taff Bro Morgannwg. Classified under the health services category, this tender is at the award stage but marks the beginning of the standstill period as per the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2025. Key decision-making for this £3,000,000 contract is dependent on the technical, commercial, and social value abilities of interested parties, with a deadline for representations set for 12th December 2025. The services, expected to be operational between December 2025 and March 2026, will be delivered within 20 miles of South East Wales.

This tender creates significant business opportunities particularly for companies with expertise in medical procedures outsourcing, and those that already have a framework agreement with NHS Wales. As the procurement was conducted via a limited method without prior public competition, businesses already within designated frameworks would be best positioned to engage. Opportunities arise for large-scale health service providers like SPA Medica Ltd, Practice Plus Group, and St Josephs Hospital, who can leverage their extensive resources and infrastructure to meet the quality, access, and cost criteria outlined. The long-term vision to improve access and reduce health inequalities, coupled with the sustainable collaboration with these health boards, presents substantial growth potential within the healthcare outsourcing sector in Wales.
