Summary of the contracting process

Swansea Bay University Health Board commissioned a comprehensive health impact assessment and related health intelligence on the Tata Steel transition in Neath Port Talbot. The work examines short-, medium- and long-term effects on health, wellbeing, society and the local economy. It includes engagement with communities and stakeholders, population health analysis, evidence review, identification of potential impacts and recommendations for mitigation. Findings are intended to inform regeneration planning and future health and other service provision. This is specialist health impact assessment and research consultancy, covering both analysis and practical recommendations. The work is delivered in Neath Port Talbot, Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust was also listed as a buyer in the procurement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited. The award is active, and the contract was signed on 22 January 2026 for a period ending 31 January 2027. The contract value is £82,995 excluding VAT (£99,594 including VAT). The original estimated value was £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The contract is below the relevant threshold and was procured through an open competition. There was one lot. Bids were assessed on a 60% price and 40% qualitative and technical basis. Suppliers had to meet minimum legal, technical and insurance requirements and submit a complete tender; registration on the Central Digital Platform and a Unique ID were required. The tender deadline was 30 September 2025.

For comparable future work for Swansea Bay University Health Board, a credible supplier would need to combine health impact assessment with robust population health analysis, evidence appraisal and health intelligence. The scope calls for assessing health, wellbeing, social and economic effects over short, medium and long terms, and turning evidence into usable mitigation recommendations for regeneration and service planning. Strong capability in community and stakeholder engagement is also central, alongside the ability to communicate findings to inform public-sector decisions. Suppliers would need to demonstrate adequate technical and legal compliance and appropriate insurance, and be able to submit a complete, well-evidenced technical response. The competition was open and allowed small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises to participate. Price carried the greater evaluation weighting, so a competitive offer would need to balance credible specialist delivery with cost.
