This service falls under the health industry category, covering locations such as Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells, Brecon, and Newtown in the UK. The award was signed on 19 March 2025. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication due to technical reasons, ensuring the continuity of high-quality healthcare services for the population of Powys. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the healthcare services sector, particularly those capable of providing out-of-hours medical services and minor injury unit cover. Ideal candidates would be small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) similar to Shropshire Doctors Cooperative Ltd, which was awarded the contract. Companies that can deliver specialised health services efficiently and maintain the continuity of care seamlessly in regional health settings might find such opportunities particularly beneficial for growth. ## Notice The main provision in the contract is for Out of Hours General Medical Services and Out of Hours medical cover at Powys Teaching Health Board community hospitals ### Lot Information Lot 1 The main provision in the contract is for Out of Hours General Medical Services and Out of Hours medical cover at Powys Teaching Health Board community hospitals, excluding Ystradgynlais. This includes Minor Injury Unit cover at Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells and Brecon Community Hospital ### Procurement Information It is considered that this contract can be placed without prior publication of a contract notice. This is for technical reasons in that this contract may not be awarded to any other particular economic operator and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists in order to maintain the continuity of safe high quality health care for the population of Powys. Alternative provision could not be arranged without investing a disproportionate and unreasonable amount of public money to complete a full exercise, to scope appropriate services for the whole population of Powys (partial geographical cover would not be acceptable) and to facilitate any transition. Any potential disruption to the current service model would have a significant impact on the care provided to Powys residents (impacting on the Health and Wellbeing of the population) and would also have a significant impact on neighbouring health care systems to which Powys population pathways are intrinsically linked. Any disruption risks a significant impact on the health services provided to both the Powys population and neighbouring health models and potentially could result in destabilising changes to patient flows. The current service is interlinked with current and other local service provision (at practice and cluster level) and any change to these arrangements would very likely have a significant negative impact on strategic partnership arrangements and delivery against strategic objectives and have a corresponding negative impact on care provided to the population of Powys (significant negative impact on Health and wellbeing of the population). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=149048 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Mar 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £541,833 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS WALES SHARED SERVICES PARTNERSHIP-PROCUREMENT SERVICES (HOSTED BY VELINDRE UNIVERSITY NHS TRUST) | | Locality | CARMARTHEN | | Post town | Swansea | | Postcode | SA31 3BB | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL42 South West Wales | | Local authority | Carmarthenshire | | Electoral ward | Carmarthen Town West | | Westminster constituency | Caerfyrddin | | Delivery location | TLL24 Powys | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SHROPSHIRE DOCTORS COOPERATIVE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85120000 - Medical practice and related services ## Release History - 19 Mar 2025 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=149048 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR503733 General Medical Services Out of Hours Services for Powys Teaching Health Board - The main provision in the contract is for Out of Hours General Medical Services and Out of Hours medical cover at Powys Teaching Health Board community hospitals ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://api.sell2wales.gov.wales/v1?lang=cy/Notice?id=ocds-kuma6s-149048 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
