Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, in collaboration with the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee, is engaging in a planning phase to renew the National Care Homes Framework Agreement for Adults in Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Care Homes & Care Homes with Nursing. This initiative, focused in the health services industry category, aims to enhance existing arrangements for the National Health Service in Wales. As part of this planning stage, a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) event is scheduled for Friday, 27th March 2026, to be held virtually via Microsoft Teams. Interested parties must express their interest by Monday, 16th March 2026, to partake in this event. This engagement represents a vital step before entering potentially into a procurement process which may eventually be governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025.

This tender represents significant prospects for businesses specialising in health services to expand their influence within the Welsh care homes sector. The pre-market engagement event allows providers an opportunity to understand the framework direction, explore options, and align their services with NHS Wales's anticipated needs. Businesses equipped with expertise in mental health and learning disabilities care, especially those with a robust presence in the UK, would be well-suited to compete when the full procurement process unfolds. By participating in early dialogues, providers can better tailor their offerings and position themselves strategically for future procurement exercises. The framework renewal seeks input that could refine the procurement scope and foster transparency in future processes, allowing businesses to gain valuable insights and potentially increase their market presence in Wales.
