Summary of the contracting process

The Swansea Bay University Health Board is seeking to insource neurodevelopment assessments focused on diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and dual assessments to tackle long waiting lists. Hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust's NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, the procurement categorises under health services with a CPV classification ID of 85100000. This open procurement process is in the contract award stage as of 12th December 2025; however, the award was unsuccessful. The contract was intended to span from 8th December 2025 to 31st March 2026 within the Swansea Bay University Health Board Footprint in Neath Port Talbot, UK, valued at £211,810. The initial tender closed on 10th November 2025 with the subsequent bid opening on 11th November 2025.

Despite the award being unsuccessful, this tender offers future opportunities for businesses specialising in neurodevelopment assessments and health services. Companies skilled in providing quick, efficient, and quality assessments for ASD, ADHD, and related disorders could find substantial growth opportunities in similar NHS contracts focused on reducing waiting times. The type of businesses suited to compete would typically include healthcare providers, medical consultancies, and organisations well-versed in the technical selection criteria outlined within NHS standards. With the procurement method as open, there remains a future possibility to engage with similar tender initiatives issued by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership to further grow business capacities within the healthcare sector.
