## Summary

The procurement process under discussion is led by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, for the provision of PET-CT services. This process falls under the services category within the medical imaging industry, specifically targeting regions across North Wales and North Powys. This tender was conducted under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, indicating that the procurement regulations of 2015 and Procurement Act 2023 do not apply. The procurement method utilised is described as a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract has been awarded to INHEALTH LTD, with the agreement scheduled to be formally signed on 14th May 2026, alongside the commencement of a standstill period. Notably, providers must submit representations by 11:59 pm on 26th May 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the medical imaging sector, specifically those capable of providing PET-CT services. Given the specific requirement for a sustained North Wales-based PET-CT imaging service, suppliers with experience in handling radiopharmaceuticals and delivering high-quality medical imaging could find this contract particularly beneficial. The procurement, structured as a framework call-off, offers a platform for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like INHEALTH LTD to collaborate with the public health sector in Wales. The current award to an SME highlights a tangible precedent for similar enterprises to engage with such procurement opportunities, fostering growth and innovation within the medical technology field. Additionally, businesses looking to establish or expand services in the growing medical sectors, such as oncology, neurology, or cardiac diagnostics, will find this procurement process a strategic entry point.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract is to ensure the maintained availability of a North Wales based PET CT imaging service for the populations of North Wales and North Powys. PET CT is a form of specialised medical imaging involving the administration of radiopharmaceuticals and, in Wales, is a service commissioned by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (JCC). The availability of PET imaging is crucial in the management of a variety of diseases but particularly cancer. PET CT scans can provide greater staging certainty, increasing the likelihood of the correct therapeutic treatment option being chosen and reducing the use of sometimes unnecessary surgical approaches with high morbidity risks. PET CT has been shown to change proposed treatment in around 40% of cases. Staging certainty improves accuracy of cancer datasets which in turn allow outcomes to be more accurately attributed and understood. There is increasing use of PET CT in non-oncology indications with the recent adoption of inflammatory and infective indications. It is increasingly used in diagnosing neurological conditions and cardiac disease. PET CT access is governed in Wales by JCC Policy CP50. PET CT referrals need to fall within a restricted range of funded indications determined by JCC with any other cases only accepted if IPFR (Individual Patient Funding Requests) funding is made available. The clinical indications for PET-CT in Wales are currently less than for England but, as more capacity for PET CT becomes available, these will increase. This remarketing of the currently contracted service is set against a background of the successful support by Welsh Government approval of the OBC for consolidated PET-CT and Nuclear Medicine service within North Wales, due to open in 2027. This procurement will allow for the continuation of PET-CT service provision to the people of North Wales whilst this consolidated centre is built and established, at which point BCUHB will begin providing this commissioned service. This procurement follows a previous unsuccessful exercise that was terminated after a challenge identified issues within both the technical and commercial sections (BCU-FCOWC-59483). The Health Board subsequently issued a direct award (BCU-FCONC-61752) to the incumbent supplier, Alliance Medical Limited, for a 20-week period, allowing time for Procurement and the Health Board to revise the criteria and initiate a new tender process.
