Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services has completed a procurement process titled "3rd Sector Grant Scheme - Swansea Clusters" in the services industry category. The process was focused on the sourcing, management, and operation of a local Third Sector Grant Scheme across the GP Cluster Networks in Swansea, aimed to run from 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026. Despite the cancellation of the lot, an award was made to SCVS (Swansea Council for Voluntary Service), which was signed on 12/02/2025. The procurement was carried out through a limited method, implying no prior publication of a call for competition, reasoning that the service required specialised knowledge of local network priorities.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses focusing on community service provision, particularly those with an established presence or partnerships within the local third sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises capable of managing and operating grant schemes for community-based projects would find this contract especially beneficial. Businesses with robust knowledge of GP Cluster Network operations in Swansea and those skilled in rapid and effective stakeholder engagement within the third sector would be well-suited to such tenders, paving the way for potential growth by addressing cluster-determined priorities in the community.
