Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured media management services to support and promote Public Health Wales’ national Healthy Weight Healthy You programme. The work covers advertising and marketing services for the programme, with delivery in Wales. The requirement was structured as a single lot and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The buyer described it as a well-defined, routine requirement, informed by experience of similar procurements. The programme’s purpose is to support and promote healthy weight services nationally; the selected supplier was engaged to facilitate the media management needed to achieve that.

The procurement reached award stage, but the resulting contract was terminated on 24 September 2026 after Orchard Media and Events Group Ltd entered liquidation. The award was made on 21 April 2026 through an open procedure. The award value was £400,000 excluding VAT (£480,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 7 May 2026 and ran from 11 May 2026 to 10 May 2027, with an option for a further 12 months. The original tender specified a one-year term with a possible one-year extension. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 60% and price at 40%; the quality assessment covered technical capability, methodology, workforce competence, risk management, resource allocation and service delivery. Eight bids were received, all from SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates demand from NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership for specialist media management to promote a national public health programme. A credible competitor would need to show strong advertising and marketing delivery, a clear and effective media-management methodology, competent staff, and the ability to allocate suitable resources and manage delivery risks. The evaluation gave greater weight to technical quality than price, so evidence of a robust approach and capable workforce mattered more than a low price alone. The single-lot requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, and all eight bids came from SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers competed for work at this scale. Suppliers should also be able to deliver reliably throughout the contract and maintain continuity of service.
