Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board commissioned a board development programme from a specialist development partner. The service is intended to strengthen and sustain the Board’s effectiveness as a high-performing body, including clear strategic leadership, robust governance and effective oversight in a complex and challenging healthcare environment. This is a professional training and organisational development service, classified under training services. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board is the buyer, with NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managing the procurement and Velindre University NHS Trust hosting that partnership. Delivery is in Wales. The requirement concerns board-level development rather than clinical service delivery, construction, equipment supply or general workforce training.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was used and was marked complete. Enquiries closed on 10 April 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions closed on 17 April 2026 at 17:00. The estimated lot value was £60,000 excluding VAT, or £72,000 including VAT. The award went to The Good Governance Institute. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and is active, running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £46,499.99 excluding VAT, or £55,799.99 including VAT. Evaluation weighted quality at 40% and price at 60%. The tender documents set out the participation requirements in detail.

This opportunity shows demand from a Welsh health board for structured board development delivered by a specialist governance and organisational development provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience supporting boards to improve strategic leadership, governance, effectiveness and oversight, particularly in complex healthcare environments. The work is suited to organisations able to combine practical development programmes with a clear understanding of public-sector accountability and NHS governance. It would favour providers with relevant senior-level facilitators, strong training and evaluation methods, and the capacity to work with a whole board over a sustained programme. The procurement explicitly identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
