The industry category for this tender is training services, with specific emphasis on the development of strategic leadership and governance capabilities. The procurement followed an open competition method that remained below the threshold, ensuring a wide participation window. The contract was awarded on 5th August 2026, with an active status of ongoing services from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2027. Key dates include the contract signing on 29th July 2026, marking the move from the tender to the award stage, and the procurement process was managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership.
