Summary of the contracting process

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, through the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract for the "Service User and Carer Involvement Service" under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) Regulations 2025. The contract, valued at £170,845.50, covers psychiatrist or psychologist services in the Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan area. It was awarded to Adferiad Recovery on 30th March 2026 and is scheduled to run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with the option to extend annually until 31st March 2031. This award falls under the Most Suitable Provider Process and marks the contract update stage in the procurement timeline.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for organisations specialising in mental health services, particularly those with expertise in service user and carer engagement workstreams. As it strengthens the focus on co-production and the Reward and Recognition programme, businesses like Adferiad Recovery, which have established systems and strong partnerships, are well-suited to deliver this essential service. The procurement process, which did not exclude any providers, invites similar organisations to demonstrate robust governance, accessibility, Welsh language compliance, and high-quality engagement practices to compete effectively in this specialised market.
