## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract under the Planned Care Outsourcing initiative aimed at reducing patient waiting lists for orthopaedic hip and knee procedures. The contract, operating under the services category, covers the Cardiff area, specifically the UKL22 region. Initially planned to conclude by September 2025, with provisions to extend until 31st March 2026 subject to further funding, this contract falls under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) and is exempt from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Awarded via a framework agreement with a competitive selection process, the services commenced on 1st October 2025 and will end on 31st March 2026, with a cumulative contract value of £1,323,101.13.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for growth in healthcare service delivery for large-scale providers positioned to manage the outlined cases effectively. With emphasis on technical capabilities, commercial viability, and social value, companies proficient in orthopaedic care and possessing robust management structures are well-suited for such tenders. This structure fosters competition amongst established healthcare entities, evidenced by awards to organisations like ST JOSEPH'S INDEPENDENT HOSPITAL LIMITED, Practice Plus Group, and NUFFIELD HEALTH, each of whom were selected based on their high overall evaluation scores. Large healthcare providers looking to expand their service offerings in the UK healthcare sector would find this procurement an attractive opportunity to showcase their capabilities and penetrate the market further.
