Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns the awarding of a contract for the provision of specialised therapy services for children with neurological disorders. The buying organisation, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, on behalf of a consortium including Hywel Dda and Swansea Bay University Health Boards, has awarded the contract to Cerebral Palsy Cymru through Direct Award Process 2 under the Provider Selection Regime (Wales) Regulations 2025. The contract, valued at £467,588.24, is set to commence on 1 July 2026 and is expected to run until 30 June 2027, with options to extend for two additional years. The procurement falls under the service category of physiotherapy services, with the primary location being Wales (UKL).

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in neuro-disability care and therapy services, particularly those specialising in paediatric physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy. Cerebral Palsy Cymru was selected due to its existing provision of quality, value-driven, and sustainable therapy services that support continuity of care and improved health outcomes. Businesses with a focus on providing accessible and equitable services, demonstrating social responsibility, and possessing advanced technical and professional capabilities would be well-suited to similar future opportunities in this specialised sector.

Notice Title

Provision of Specialised Therapy Services for Children with Neurological Disorders

Notice Description

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is acting on behalf of Hywel Dda University Health Board and Swansea Bay University Health Board, who together form a consortium for the procurement of neuro-disability therapy services for children and young people aged from birth to 19 years. This notice constitutes an Intention to Award Notice and confirms the Commissioner's intention to award a contract following the application of Direct Award Process 2 under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations. Direct Award Process 2 has been identified as the most appropriate procurement route for this requirement, as the existing contract is due to expire and the Commissioner proposes to replace it with a new contract at the end of its current term. The proposed contractual arrangements do not represent a considerable change to the existing service, and the Commissioner is satisfied that the current provider is delivering the contract to an acceptable standard and is likely to meet the requirements of the proposed contract. Publication of this Intention to Award Notice commences the standstill period in accordance with the applicable regulations. The standstill period will end on the 19th June 2026. No contract will be entered into before the conclusion of the standstill period. The services are intended to be provided from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with the option to extend for two further 12-month periods.

The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice confirms the award of the contract to a provider under Direct Award Process 2 and serves as the formal contract award notice under PSR Wales.

The standstill period concluded at midnight on 19 June, during which providers were given the opportunity to make written representations.

The award decision was made by the evaluation panel comprising: Head of Commissioning - Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board Contracts Officer - Hywel Dda University Health Board Commissioning and Contracting Manager - Swansea Bay University Health Board Direct Award Process 2 was considered the most appropriate route because the existing contract was due to expire and the new contract replaces the existing arrangements without a considerable change to the service model.

The provider was assessed against the five key criteria prescribed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025 using a pass/fail methodology. The assessment confirmed that the provider demonstrated the required quality, value, collaboration and service sustainability, improvements in access and reduction of health inequalities, and social responsibility.

The contract was awarded on 29 June 2026. The services will be provided from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with options to extend in 2 x 12 month intervals, 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028 and 1 July 2028 to 30 June 2029.
