## Summary

Swansea Bay University Health Board procured an insourced bowel cancer screening service across its health board area. The requirement is for specialist clinical services supporting the delivery of bowel screening, including care pathways and the operational and quality standards expected by the Health Board. The work is delivered within the Swansea Bay University Health Board footprint, covering the Swansea Bay area of Wales. The service is intended to support continued provision of bowel cancer screening and builds on an existing service arrangement. The Health Board is the buyer and uses the service to support its healthcare provision. This is a clinical service requirement rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work, and its focus is the delivery of bowel screening services within the Health Board’s local service network.

The procurement is complete and the Health Board selected Medinet Clinical Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026, at a value of £242,164. The proposed service period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a possible six-month extension. The purchase was made as a direct award under an existing framework, without a new competition, on the basis that the provider had performed satisfactorily under the previous contract. The decision considered the provider’s past performance and its ability to meet clinical, operational and quality requirements, alongside the applicable selection criteria. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded. The intention-to-award standstill allowed provider representations until midnight on 19 October 2026; the notice stated the contract had not yet formally been awarded.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Swansea Bay University Health Board, this award shows demand for an established bowel cancer screening service delivered within the Board’s local footprint. A credible provider would need specialist clinical capability in bowel screening, working knowledge of the relevant care pathways, and the operational capacity to support continued service delivery. The Health Board’s decision gave weight to satisfactory performance on the previous contract and demonstrated ability to meet clinical, operational and quality requirements, so evidenced delivery against comparable service standards is commercially important. Suppliers should also be able to operate within an existing healthcare service environment and provide reliable continuity. The award was made through a framework direct award rather than a new competition, indicating that access to an appropriate framework may be relevant to competing for this type of requirement.
