- Change The estimated maximum value of the all-Wales framework agreement for the provision of Insourcing/Outsourcing Clinical, Surgical and Diagnostic Procedures has been increased by 25% (GBP 50 million) to reflect higher than anticipated utilisation of the framework by Health Boards since its commencement and to enable its continued use in supporting planned care recovery across NHS Wales. The modification increases the estimated lifetime value of the framework from GBP 200 million to GBP 250 million. This modification is made in accordance with Regulation 13(4)(d) of the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, as it is attributable to a decision of the relevant authority and satisfies the conditions set out in Regulation 13(5). The modification does not render the framework agreement materially different in character, and the cumulative increase in the estimated lifetime value remains below the 25% threshold permitted by the Regulations. There are no changes to the scope of services, or the suppliers appointed to the framework agreement. The decision to modify the estimated maximum value of the framework agreement was made by Deputy Head of National Sourcing Assistant Head of National Sourcing No actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest were declared by those involved in the decision to modify the framework agreement. In accordance with NWSSP governance arrangements, any conflicts of interest would be managed in line with the organisation's conflicts of interest policy., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The estimated value of the framework was based on historical expenditure and forecast demand at the time of procurement. Since the framework commenced, demand for insourcing and outsourcing services has increased significantly beyond those forecasts due to increased use by Health Boards to support planned care recovery and reduce Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times, together with the availability of additional funding. These circumstances could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time the framework was established. The modification is therefore necessary to increase the estimated value of the framework to enable its continued use.
