Summary of the contracting process

The Hywel Dda University Health Board, under the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, is advancing towards awarding contracts in the procurement process for the "Arts Boost 5 - An Arts in Health Programme for Young People". This initiative is focused on improving mental health services for young people with mild to moderate mental health needs in Cardigan, Narberth, and Llanelli, Wales. Governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, the intention to award was announced on 15th May 2026, marking the start of the standstill period, which ends on 22nd May 2026. The contract, focusing on miscellaneous health services as the main procurement category, conducts a competitive, open procedure and is currently in the award stage, with a total contract value distribution among three contracts: £19,400 for Cardigan, £19,390.8 for Narberth, and £19,400 for Llanelli.

The project provides substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health and arts sectors to contribute to the mental well-being of young individuals in Wales. It is particularly suitable for businesses experienced in delivering integrated arts programmes aimed at health improvement. Companies like Small World Theatre, Span Arts, and PeopleSpeakUp, which have already been successfully recognised, exemplify the type of innovative, community-focused organisations suited for this collaborative effort. This procurement offers promising potential for growth in the arts and health industry, allowing suppliers to integrate creative interventions into mental health care while fostering their business development within public health frameworks.
