## Summary

The tender titled "VEAT for the Provision of Consultants & Clinicians for Medicine CB" was awarded by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services. The procurement process was completed on 21st October 2022. The procurement stage was the award phase using a limited procurement method. The buying organisation is involved in the Health and Education industries and is located in Cardiff, UK. The tender created an opportunity for Medi Team Recruitment Ltd as the awarded supplier, with a contract value of £266,410.

This tender for the provision of medical consultants and locums was aimed at addressing urgent staffing shortages to prevent compromise in patient care at UHW and UHL sites. The procurement sought services to support the Medicine Clinical Board in meeting critical staffing needs due to operational pressures. Businesses specializing in healthcare staffing and medical services would be well-suited to compete for such opportunities that require a quick and effective response to critical service gaps in healthcare organisations.

## Notice

The Medicine Clinical Board have an urgent requirement for 2 Acute Physicians and 2 Gastro Locums for a period of 12 weeks due to current service provider being unable to provide further/additional medical Consultants

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Due to the increased pressure that the C&V UHB is currently under the current service provider is unable to support any further / additional medical Consultants or Gastro Locums. All agencies on AW Frameworks have been approached but they also do not have the ability to support. There is a need to obtain further medical support in order to ensure there is a reduced risk to harm to patients. There are long waits to be seen due to an increased number of patients attending the Emergency Unit department. The knock on effect of delaying medical reviews is that it delays treatment and increases the acuity of the patient, therefore increasing the length of stay when admitted. There is an urgent requirement to procure 2 x Acute Physician Consultants to cover sessions in EU/AU and 2 x Locums for Gastroenterology to provide Ward Cover. This is a short term requirement.

### Procurement Information

There are significant operational pressures currently on both UHW and UHL sites. Without the additional Consultant / Locum resource it will compromise patient care as follows: A delay in treating patients A constant number of patients waiting in inappropriate areas within the EU/AU An increased length of stay for patients when admitted An increased level of acuity for patients due to the delay An increased number of cancelled outpatient clinics as there will be an urgent need to withdraw this service to pull Consultants to the EU/AU An increased delay offloading ambulances due to the backlog in the department Poor discharge profiles on the wards due to the lack of Consultants who can provide medical reviews This is an interim solution due to the critical level of staffing in the Medicine Clinical Board whilst the recruitment process for further HB staff is concluded.
