This project falls under the health industry category and aims to support the Diabetic Eye Screening programme across South, West, and North Wales. The procurement stage currently reflects that the contract has been awarded, with the supplier being Tenovus Cancer Care. This open procedure required interested parties to submit electronic bids through the eTenderwales portal by 6th January 2025. The contract, valued at £452,600, was officially signed on 1st May 2025. The procurement method was open, ensuring transparency and competitive participation, and the project is set to provide mobile screening units seven days a week to underserved areas. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the medical equipment and mobile healthcare solutions sectors. Companies with capabilities in designing and providing mobile clinic spaces would find this procurement ideal for expanding their reach within the healthcare sector in Wales. The successful supplier would contribute significantly to public health objectives by addressing the lack of suitable screening venues and preventing diabetic retinopathy related sight loss. Innovative businesses focusing on health technology and service provision for the public sector would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, offering opportunities to enhance their market position and support community health initiatives in Wales and beyond. ## Notice Diabetic Eye Screening Wales (DESW) is an All-Wales screening programme within Public Health Wales Screening Division and provides regular screening to approximately 190,000 eligible participants from the age of 12 who are diagnosed with diabetes and registered with a GP in Wales. Screening is provided for the remainder of life following diagnosis and referral into the Programme. The programmes' objective is to detect diabetic retinopathy in the early stages to prevent sight loss. Research evidence shows that with early identification and treatment, loss of vision can be prevented in 70-90% of people with sight threatening diabetic retinopathy. The Programme operates across three regions; South, West and North Wales and delivers locality-based screening from a number of PHW managed static venues and community clinic venues in local areas provided by Health Boards and the private sector. Suitable screening venues are essential to support continued identification of retinopathy at an early stage and support appropriate referral to hospital eye services for affected participants who are eligible for diabetic eye screening. There continues to be a lack of suitable venues in certain areas and sourcing appropriate venues remains challenging. To address this issue, DESW is seeking a hire agreement for two mobile screening units that will be utilised for a combined 7 days per week. These units must meet the criteria for a suitable clinic space and provide both flexibility and capacity to support DESW in siting units in those areas where no suitable venue is available. Further details of the requirement are provided within the specification document. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Diabetic Eye Screening Wales (DESW) is an All-Wales screening programme within Public Health Wales Screening Division and provides regular screening to approximately 190,000 eligible participants from the age of 12 who are diagnosed with diabetes and registered with a GP in Wales.
