Summary of the contracting process
The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is managing a contracting process for the outsourcing of ophthalmic surgical procedures, specifically cataract surgeries, to address a significant backlog due to the emergency closure of surgical capacity at the Princess of Wales Hospital.

The process, currently at the award stage, culminated in the signing of the contract on 6th January 2025, with the services requiring urgent completion by 31st March 2025.
