Summary of the contracting process

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) has been mandated to implement a framework for the provision of psychometric and diagnostic assessments aimed at fostering personal and leadership development within NHS Wales. This framework encompasses several lots tailored to different assessment needs, including personality profiling and team effectiveness evaluations. Spanning a three-year period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an optional fourth year extension, this initiative utilizes an open procurement method ensuring wide accessibility. The procurement is categorized under education and training services and is geographically centred around Cardiff, representing the United Kingdom's Welsh regions. The total framework value is set at £400,000 (ex VAT), reflecting its non-committal framework agreement, which does not guarantee a minimum spend but engages suppliers based on need.

This framework presents a substantial opportunity for businesses engaged in the development and delivery of psychometric tools and diagnostic assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, could benefit from participating in these lots, offering both full-service and self-service options in assessments. Firms specialising in personality, team dynamics, leadership evaluations, and coaching will find this framework an ideal platform to expand their services within the public sector. The engagement on a call-off basis allows flexible collaboration conditional on arising needs, offering a scalable entry into public sector procurement for businesses looking to enhance their footprints.
