Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Service Partnership has completed the procurement process for the "Rainbow Connectors" project under the health services category. This initiative, valued at £9.5 million, focuses on piloting and evaluating a discharge from hospital support service, extending its operation for an additional six months. The process, which followed a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, addresses the continuity needs of patients while the market is engaged to develop an Alliance Commissioning Approach. The contract, awarded to Growing Space, reflects the buying organisation's intent to support uninterrupted patient care. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with the contract period beginning from 27th March 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and community health services, particularly those capable of providing holistic discharge support and continuity of care. Organisations with expertise in health service provision, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Growing Space, would find this an optimal growth opportunity. The focus on developing an Alliance Commissioning Approach also opens avenues for collaboration and innovation, making it an attractive proposition for companies aiming to expand their service offerings in the health sector within the UK.
