## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has overseen the 'Planned Care Outsourcing - Spines' project, focusing on services aimed at reducing patient waiting lists for spinal procedures in Cardiff and the Vale region. This procurement falls under the industry category of health services, with a CPV classification of 85100000, and is conducted in accordance with the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. The contract, which has been confirmed and awarded through a framework agreement with a competition, is valued at £494,541.35 for the period from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2026. The selection process concluded with the formal contract signing on 16th December 2025.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale health service providers with capabilities in pre-assessment, diagnostics, surgery, and follow-up care for spinal procedures. The contract is split equally between two suppliers, Nuffield Health and Spire Cardiff Hospital, who have been chosen based on their high technical, commercial, and social value scores. Businesses with a strong track record in providing efficient and effective medical services, and those capable of managing increased patient volumes, would find this contract beneficial for expanding their health services footprint and contributing to public health needs in the Cardiff region.
