Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, pertains to the intention to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Wales Regulations 2025. The contract award, specifically for psychology therapy services—classified under the CPV code for psychiatrist or psychologist services—has been announced as an award intent notice as of 13 November 2025, with representations by providers required by 24 November 2025. The location for service delivery involves the region coded as UKL13, and the procurement process employed is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, which aligns with the regulations specified in the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales). The contracting activity has now reached the award stage and marks the beginning of a standstill period before finalisation.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in psychological therapeutic services to contribute significantly to health service provision enhancement in Wales. Companies with strengths in quality service delivery, value for money, collaboration, sustainability, and addressing health inequalities stand a strong chance of success. Moreover, this procurement initiative emphasises social responsibility, aligning with broader organisational values. Large organisations, such as Cathy Wood Psychology, which have demonstrated financial stability and technical ability, are indicated as potential contract awardees, highlighting opportunities for similar enterprises to venture and expand their offerings in the healthcare provider sector.
