UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Public Health Wales NHS Trust, located in Cardiff, has recently completed the procurement process for the "Support of Phase 2 of the Safe Care Partnership for NHS Wales." This contract, with a value of £238,348 gross (£198,625 net), focuses on developing a Quality Management System (QMS) to enhance healthcare quality management across NHS Wales. The process was conducted as an open procedure under the UK legislation 2023/54, and a contract was awarded to The Health Foundation, a large-scale organisation located in London. The contract period starts from 1st July 2025 and is set to end on 30th June 2027, with the option to extend for an additional 12 months at the discretion of NHS Performance and Improvement.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specializing in healthcare quality systems and management consultancy. It highlights demand for expertise in QMS development, leadership, and organisational culture improvements within the healthcare sector. While The Health Foundation has secured the contract, the procurement landscape demonstrates a valuable niche for businesses that are equipped to deliver innovative solutions in healthcare management and related services. Such opportunities are well-suited for large organisations with experience and capability in handling significant contracts and implementing broad-scale health initiatives. Small to medium enterprises, however, should also consider the potential for future involvement, as phases or similar projects may arise.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Support of Phase 2 of the Safe Care Partnership for NHS Wales

Notice Description

Quality in healthcare in NHS Wales is underpinned by the Duty of Quality, which came into effect in April 2023 as part of the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Act 2020 and to achieve its aim of ensuring a system-wide focus on quality, the Duty requires NHS organisations to establish effective Quality Management Systems (QMS) that focus on learning and are driven by their Boards. Within Phase 2 of the Safe Care Partnership, the Quality, Safety & Improvement Directorate within NHS Performance and Improvement sought to engage the services of a suitably competent and experienced supplier to support with the development of the QMS to evolve and embed the leadership, culture and learning system to deliver improvements in care that are part of the broader organisational quality management system. Following the completion of a procurement process, a contract has now been awarded.
