Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Health Board is continuing a school-based asthma management programme across Pembrokeshire. The requirement is a health service covering delivery of asthma management support in schools, intended to improve how asthma is managed within the local education setting. Services are delivered across Pembrokeshire. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, acted as the buyer and procurement service. The selected provider is Edwards Healthcare Ltd, based in Narberth. The requirement is therefore relevant to healthcare providers with practical experience of asthma management and the delivery of health programmes in schools or similar community settings. It is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction opportunity.

This procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It was awarded to Edwards Healthcare Ltd under the Provider Selection Regime Wales Direct Award Process 2, using an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 16 March 2026 and is valued at £160,000. Services are due to run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option described as a further nine months to 31 December 2027. The contract period is also recorded as 630 days. Evaluation was based on quality weighted at 70% and cost at 30%. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The procurement’s single lot is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active.

This award demonstrates a defined local requirement for continued asthma management services in schools across Pembrokeshire, delivered through a direct award route under the Welsh Provider Selection Regime. A credible future competitor would need the clinical knowledge and operational capability to provide asthma management support reliably across multiple schools, work within a health-board-led programme, and engage effectively with school staff and the communities they serve. Evidence of delivering comparable respiratory-health, school-health or community healthcare services would be relevant. The award also shows that an SME provider was considered capable of meeting the requirement, so the opportunity is not necessarily limited to large national healthcare organisations. Providers with established local coverage, suitable clinical personnel and experience managing programme delivery would be well placed to assess similar demand from this buyer.
