Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process for an agreement titled "Emergency Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services & Emergency Mental Health Services" within the health sector, specifically classified under psychiatric hospital services. This procurement was driven by the urgent need to increase in-patient bed capacity in Wales due to pressures from the Covid-19 pandemic. The procurement process was conducted using a limited method, with a direct award made under Regulation 32(2)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 due to extreme urgency. The contract was signed on 3 April 2020, aiming to secure 125 additional mental health beds across various categories, contributing to enhanced local care for patients.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those in the independent and third sectors within Wales. Companies capable of providing in-patient mental health accommodation, including medium secure, low secure, locked rehabilitation, and open rehabilitation beds, are encouraged to engage in future contracts of this nature. The ability to respond rapidly and meet the urgent demands of the health sector during times of crisis positions these businesses to play a vital role in supporting the NHS and expanding their operations within the healthcare landscape.

Notice Title

AGREEMENT FOR THE PROVISION OF EMERGENCY CHILD AND ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES & EMERGENCY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

Notice Description

The ability of LHBs in Wales to manage the demand for specialist and non-specialist mental health in-patient beds became compromised by the pressures from the Covid-19 pandemic. Staff shortages and the need to be able to isolate patients, within suitable in-patient settings, seriously compromised LHBs ability to manage within their existing mental health bed capacity. A high demand for bed spaces in England plus the complications of transporting patients outside of Wales emphasised the criticality of raising NHS Wales's ability to place patients closer to home within Wales. Consequently, as part of their mental health co-ordination planning the National Collaborative Commissioning Unit (NCCU) identified a need to procure additional mental health in-patient capacity from the independent and the third sector in Wales. A scope to purchase 125 beds, was mapped as follows: Medium Secure beds x 10 Low Secure beds x 20 Locked Rehabilitation beds x 62 Open Rehabilitation beds x 33 Securing capacity enabled the supply of additional mental health accommodation nationally across Wales. Given these unprecedented and uncertain times, there was a requirement for support on an interim basis with an option to extend the agreement on a rolling monthly basis.
