## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the awarding stage for the tender titled "Outsourcing of Ophthalmology Services." This procurement falls within the health industry category and is primarily aimed at reducing waiting list initiatives (WLI) by establishing a contract with SpaMedica Ltd. Located in Cardiff, the buying organisation utilised a limited procurement method, citing extreme urgency as the rationale for bypassing a prior call for competition. The contract, valued at £225,000, was signed on 2nd April 2025, and services are expected to commence immediately in April, following the mutual agreement. This process targets the delivery of healthcare services as close to patients' homes as possible, aligning with Hywel Dda University Health Board’s localised service objectives.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those capable of swiftly addressing urgent public health needs. Large-scale enterprises like SpaMedica Ltd, which can efficiently manage high-volume patient care and have robust regional service networks, may find such contracts particularly aligned with their capabilities. The tender's focus on reducing waiting lists suggests that organisations with expertise in efficiently deploying medical resources and patient management can play a vital role in similar future procurements, opening avenues for sustained business growth in the public healthcare market.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) requires a single contract with SpaMedica in line with a time-limited outsourced solution to support a reduction in waiting list initiatives (WLI). A prime concern for the commissioning Health Board is to treat patients as close to home as possible, and therefore deliver outsourcing solutions as close to the Health Board's boundaries as possible. Also, experience of assessing patient willingness to travel has strongly indicated that closer locations will likely have a higher uptake. Expected service start date will be immediately in April 2025, subject to mutual agreement between the commissioning Health Board and the awarded provider(s).
