## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is progressing with the "Pathology Managed Service Contract". This falls under the services category (CPV: 85111800) and is located within the UKL region. The procurement stage is in the Award phase as of 8th August 2024, with the contract running from 15th December 2017 to 14th December 2031. A significant modification has been made to this contract due to unforeseen boundary changes, extending the contract by two years to refresh equipment and align with its lifespan. This procurement is crucial for providing core diagnostic services and aligning pathology services across multiple hospitals.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses with expertise in pathology and medical diagnostics, especially those capable of supplying, maintaining, and managing medical equipment. Large-scale organisations with a proven track record in this sector, like ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS LIMITED, which has been awarded this contract, will find this particularly advantageous. The extension until 2031 demands continued innovation and service provision, positioning suppliers to potentially grow their operations and secure long-term engagements with NHS Wales. Businesses located or operating within the UK could leverage this opportunity to become a vital partner in the health services delivery chain.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is proposing to add an additional two (2) years on to the current contract to take the contract to 14th December 2031, to enable the Health Board to undertake an equipment refresh and align the remaining term of the contract with the equipment lifespan (7 years).This modification is being made under PCR 2015 regulation 72c, due to unforeseen circumstances that the Health Board was not aware of at the time of contract award. Specifically, due to Welsh Government boundary changes in 2019, the Health Board acquired additional NHS sites and associated equipment that could not be foreseen at the initial contract award stage.
