Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

In a recent procurement process initiated by the Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB), the contracting process for the provision of bereavement services in the North and South Ceredigion Cluster Areas has reached the award stage. The process, governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, is set to expand bereavement services in these areas. The contract, with an initial two-year period and an optional one-year extension, was competed through an open procedure. The coverage area is identified as region UKL14, focusing on community health services. An intention to award notice was published on 5th June 2026, marking the start of the standstill period with representations accepted until 15th June 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses focusing on community health services to expand their operations in the rural regions of Ceredigion. Specifically, businesses capable of delivering services in Welsh and reaching remote areas across rural geography would be well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity. The competitive process favoured both quality and price criteria, making it suitable for SMEs like the awarded supplier, Aberystwyth and District Hospice at Home Volunteers, who can provide innovative bereavement and grief services through various platforms, including in-person, telephone, and virtual methods.
