Summary of the contracting process
The procurement process initiated by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, facilitated by Velindre University NHS Trust, involves the insourcing of vascular and non-obstetric ultrasound services. This contract is non-committal, addressing ad hoc staffing requirements within the Swansea Bay University Health Board area, classified under CPV code 85150000. The procurement, classified under the services category, commenced with a direct award process due to a lack of available local staff.
The contracting period runs from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026, with the contract officially signed on 19th December 2025. This procurement utilises a limited procurement method, specifically for technical reasons, to ensure service continuity in the face of staffing shortages. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in medical imaging services could thrive under such contract requirements, as evidenced by the award to Health Now Limited, an SME.
