Community Diagnostics Centre - CTM
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process initiated by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is currently in the tender stage for the "Community Diagnostics Centre - CTM" project in the UK, with a focus on the Health industry category. The initiative aims to address diagnostic service pressures in South-East Wales, impacting various clinical pathways. The tender, managed under an open procedure, will conclude with submissions by 12th September 2025 at 14:00 UK time.
This procurement seeks to commission at least one imaging Community Diagnostic Hub and a regional Endoscopy Suite, and it is directed by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. The main points of contact is Lily Prance, reachable via email and phone, for further enquiries. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical imaging, endoscopy, and healthcare facility development to engage with the UK health sector and expand their presence in Wales.
The project intends to foster the integration of NHS staff for training within these new facilities, offering a sustainable solution to improve diagnostic service delivery. Companies with expertise in providing healthcare equipment, training, and services are particularly well-suited to compete, as the tender involves establishing a Community Diagnostic Hub and a unique NHS Endoscopy Training Academy. Successful bidders can significantly contribute to reducing patient waiting times and enhancing clinical efficiency, thereby strengthening their portfolio and fuelling business growth within the regional health infrastructure market.
2.1 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.
