Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is actively engaged in several procurement processes to enhance healthcare services across Wales. A notable contract has been awarded to Cardiff University for providing a Diploma in Healthcare Planning aimed at NHS Wales, set to commence from 1st September 2026 and potentially extendable to 2035. Another key procurement involves the Emergency Department Well-being and Home Safe Service, supporting health boards like Cardiff and Vale, Hywel Dda, and Swansea Bay, with an anticipated start date of 1st April 2026. This tender, conducted under an open procedure, is currently in the award stage, reflecting the recent completion of the evaluation phase and subsequent awarding to Delta Wellbeing Ltd. The procurement falls under the services category and incorporates a special light-touch regime, with locations across multiple Welsh regions.

These procurements present significant business growth opportunities, especially for entities involved in educational services for healthcare professionals and welfare service providers. The awarded contracts collectively cover services that are pivotal in improving healthcare efficiency and patient outcomes, thus creating a demand for innovative solutions and expertise. Companies specialising in creating educational programmes, welfare services for vulnerable groups, or providing support services to healthcare facilities are well-suited to compete in such tenders. SMEs and VCSEs have been considered favorably in these processes, indicating potential opportunities for smaller or community-focused businesses to engage and expand within the public sector market.
