Due to Covid-19 pandemic, the Health Board has an urgent requirement for additional hospital facilities within their geographical boundaries to ensure the safety of their patients should a need arise for patients to be transferred back to UHW and/or UHL if required.
The use of independent sector capacity is a core part of the Health Board’s plan for both stability and recovery within and following the pandemic period and will enable the reduction in the number of patients waiting for critical surgeries.
St Joseph’s will provide dedicated NHS access for a facility rental agreement with an option for NHS surgeons and anaesthetists to operate for one full theatre per week with supporting inpatient and outpatient facilities as well as for Radiology and Endoscopy procedures to be completed on a cost per case basis.
The contract will deliver;
a) Facility rental for Theatres - dedicated laminar flow theatre, selection and booking of procedures can be undertaken via the Health Board’s patient administration system allowing complete visibility of the patient journey and continuity of care for when the patient returns to C&V. The theatre will accommodate weekend work if required. All equipment, consumables, and theatre staff (excluding surgeon and anaesthetist) shall be provided.
b) Facility rental for Inpatient services - inpatient capacity (12 rooms) and 5 day case pods for use by CVUHB. All inpatient rooms are en-suite and single occupancy to reduce any cross-infection risks. All nursing staff, consumables, pharmacy and RMO for post-op care and escalation of concerns to relevant consultant, if required, will be provided.
c) Cost per case contract for Imaging – 50% of the Health Board imaging capacity per week will be provided on an agreed cost per case basis.
d) Cost per case contract for Endoscopy - a dedicated endoscopy suite will be provided which will provide 5 half day sessions per week on an agreed cost per case basis.

Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation
Due to the current provider being unavailable to continue the existing provision of services to the Health Board and following review of suitable options, the Health Board has entered into discussions with St Josephs for a protected elective surgical unit facility to support the delivery of planned surgical procedures and inpatient stays for non COVID patients. St Josephs has the necessary capacity and can provide all requirements within one facility. In addition, the Health Board has undertaken a cost analysis of the overall proposed expenditure and is satisfied that this offers good value for money for the Health Board.
