## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, conducted a tender for the "Provision of Hospital Capacity for Cardiff and Vale Health Board". This procurement process is related to the healthcare industry and is located in Cardiff, UK. The contract was awarded on 24 June 2022, following a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to urgent needs arising from the pandemic. The contract has a total value of £8,000,000 and it is set to run for 12 months with the possibility of a 12-month extension.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth for healthcare providers, particularly those offering facilities for surgical and inpatient care. Businesses that can provide modular hospital services, manage theatre rentals, and deliver radiology or outpatient facilities will be particularly well-suited to compete. St Josephs Hospital was awarded the contract, but further similar opportunities may arise as the health board continues to seek flexible solutions to accommodate changing healthcare demands in the aftermath of the pandemic.

The theatre will accommodate weekend work if required. All equipment, consumables, and theatre staff (excluding surgeon and anaesthetist) shall be provided. b) Facility rental for Inpatient services - inpatient capacity (12 rooms) and 5 day case pods for use by CVUHB. All inpatient rooms are en-suite and single occupancy to reduce any cross-infection risks. All nursing staff, consumables, pharmacy and RMO for post-op care and escalation of concerns to relevant consultant, if required, will be provided. c) Contract for Imaging - 50% of the Health Board imaging capacity per week will be provided. d) Cost per case contract for Endoscopy - a dedicated endoscopy suite will be provided which will operate a 2 session day from Monday to Friday, 10 sessions per week, as required. e) Facility rental for Outpatients - St Joseph's can provide access to Outpatients facilities to provide clinics for use by NHS Consultants

### Procurement Information

Following review of suitable options, the Health Board has entered into discussions with St Joseph's for a protected elective surgical unit facility to support the delivery of planned surgical procedures and inpatient stays for non COVID patients. St Joseph's has the necessary capacity and can provide all requirements within one facility. The Hospital is close to Cardiff and Vale UHB's boundaries being 14.4 miles from UHW and 19.5 miles from UHL. In addition, the Health Board has undertaken a cost analysis of the overall proposed expenditure and is satisfied that this offers good value for money for the Health Board. St Joseph's is committed to being flexible to the Health Board's potential changing requirements in specialities to maximise efficiencies for C&V as well as to the changing Covid environment. The contract will be modular so that the Health Board can adjust its requirements for services (items a - e) throughout the duration of the contract. It should be noted that the value in this notice is the maximum value should all services described be completed for the full duration of the contract. The contract will run from March 2022 for a 12 month period, with the potential to extend for a further 12 months and will have a quarterly break clause for termination if required. Based on the above, Procurement Services is applying a 10 day standstill period prior to commencing the award of this contract.
