COMMUNITY DIAGNOSTICS CENTRE - CTM
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is undertaking a procurement process to establish a Community Diagnostics Centre in South-East Wales. This initiative aims to appoint an Independent Service Provider as a prime contractor to contribute to the pathway redesign for diagnostic services. The contracting process is currently at the award stage, with the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025 governing the process rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023.
The awarding decision involves staff from the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and other Welsh Health Boards. Key dates include a standstill period for provider representations, ending at midnight on 5th December 2025. The procurement method employed is an open procedure within the services category, focused on hospital and related services.
The contract has an anticipated value of £82,685,737. This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for large-scale companies like Alliance Medical Limited, already involved as a prospective supplier. The focus on the development of the Community Diagnostic Hub and Endoscopy Suite in South-East Wales underlines the demand for services that address diagnostic challenges, offering companies a chance to enhance capacity and delivery efficiency within health services.
Businesses operating in medical infrastructure, healthcare services, and diagnostic equipment sectors would find this tender highly suitable, as the contract seeks to streamline diagnostic services and expand clinical capabilities. The emphasis on technical quality and price, each contributing fifty percent to the award criteria, suggests a need for high standards and competitive pricing in proposals.
Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTMUHB), acting on behalf of the three Health Boards in South East Wales is seeking to appoint an Independent Service Provider (ISP) as prime contractor to act as a design partner and contributor to the pathway redesign currently being scoped out for diagnostic services under Lot 1 to provide one imaging Community Diagnostic Hub (CDH). In addition, the CDH will also have at the same location, an ISP staffed Endoscopy Suite comprising of up to four rooms co-located with an NHS staffed two room Endoscopy Training Academy.
Diagnostic services across South-East Wales are under significant pressure, leading to extended waiting times for patients and impacting on a wide range of clinical pathways and services. To provide a sustainable solution to the pressures faced and to deliver further efficiencies through pathway changes, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, acting as lead for the contract on behalf of the three University Health Boards in the region (Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (AB UHB), Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAV UHB) and Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTM UHB)) wishes to commission a minimum of one imaging Community Diagnostic Hub (CDH) with the option to increase activity and the potential to expand to one further CDH over the course over the contract. The level of growth of activity will be dictated by service demand requirements and will be subject to approval by the Health Boards beyond the initial imaging CDH. In addition, the Health Boards wish to commission the development of a regional Endoscopy Suite comprising up to four rooms to be co-located with an NHS Endoscopy Training Academy with two dedicated training rooms. The CDH and Endoscopy Suite will be ISP staffed, with scope for rotation of NHS employees into these clinical spaces for training purposes. The Endoscopy Training Academy will be developed by the authority and made available to NHS staff for operational purposes once construction is complete. This model is viewed as being more efficient in achieving an accelerated training pathway for trainees in endoscopy without any lowering of standards whereby the co-location of training and service elements enhance decision making and progression to autonomous practice.
