Summary of the contracting process

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is extending its existing contract with Hafal for Pre Vocational and Vocational Training Services for an additional 12 months, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with the contract having a value of £102,000 and being signed on 4th November 2020. This extension aims to facilitate a seamless continuation of services after the original contract expires on 31st March 2021, responding to urgent needs within the Mental Health Clinical Board, which is classified under community services within the health industry. The procurement method used for this contract is a limited procedure, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This contract extension presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in vocational training and mental health services. Companies that provide supportive workplace environments and training programmes for individuals with enduring mental health conditions will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Given the Health Board's focus on stabilising its support services post-pandemic, organisations capable of delivering innovative solutions that enhance social contact, peer support, and vocational training will be particularly attractive partners. Additionally, the ongoing work to prepare for a full tender exercise offers an opening for potential bidders to engage with the Health Board in future procurement processes.

Notice Description

The Mental Health Clinical Board has a requirement to extend the existing contract for the Pre Vocational & Vocation Training Service.
