Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the award stage of a public procurement process for regional outsourcing of cataracts procedures.

The project is situated in South East Wales, covering regions such as UKL16, UKL15, UKL21, and UKL22, and classified under ophthalmologist services.
