POW-DAP2-59499 - GP Medical Cover -Llandrindod

The procurement process managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, entails the intention to award a contract for general-practitioner services in Llandrindod. The contract, identified as POW-DAP2-59499, falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Wales, thus not adhering to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023.

The contracting process is at the award stage, and the related notice was issued on 2nd September 2025. Business providers had until 11:59 pm on 11th September 2025 to present representations during the standstill period. The procurement is classified within the services category and aims to support local GP practices in providing medical cover at community hospital beds, focusing on general medical and frailty needs.

The opportunity is particularly beneficial for local GP practices or small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like the Llandrindod Wells Medical Practice, which was the involved supplier. The procurement method utilised was a direct award option, without a formal publication call for competition, inviting providers who meet specific selection and key criteria such as quality, value, and participation in reducing health inequalities.

Enterprises with strengths in collaboration, sustainable service delivery, and social responsibility would be well-positioned to compete in processes like this under the PSR Wales regulations.
