Summary of the contracting process

The Swansea Bay University Health Board has awarded a contract modification under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This notice pertains to the "Outsourcing of Neurodevelopmental Assessments (Dual-ASD and ADHD)," initially awarded to Healios Limited. The modification increased the contract term by an additional six months to a total of 18 months, starting from 28 February 2026 and ending on 27 September 2027. The contract value has been increased from £163,240 to £244,860. The procurement, which falls under the industry category of medical specialist services, does not comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 but is executed via a direct award without competition due to the urgency of services required. The location for service delivery is Swansea Bay Health Board locations in the UKL18 region.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in medical assessments, particularly those focusing on autism and ADHD. The direct award route indicates a need for quick and reliable service delivery, making this an ideal opportunity for businesses that can provide specialist medical services efficiently and effectively. Large-scale providers, like Healios Limited, with the capability to manage an extended service requirement as evidenced by this 50% increase in contract value and term, would be well-suited for such contracts. The expansion of this procurement highlights the increasing demand for specialised healthcare services, allowing businesses that can adapt to these needs to flourish and expand their reach in the healthcare sector.
