Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board commissioned specialist consultancy to continue its Population Needs Assessment work programme. The requirement covers population needs analysis supporting the Health Board’s Public Health team, including continuation of existing programme work, retention of organisational knowledge and completion of programme objectives. The service is classified as business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000). Delivery covers the Gwent Valleys, Monmouthshire and Newport. The work was provided through an agency consultant supplied by Keystream Group under the CCS RM6277 framework, with the same consultant retained to maintain service stability and continuity. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services managed the procurement for the Health Board. This is a specialist public health consultancy requirement rather than general administrative, clinical or routine management support.

The procurement has been awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, on the stated basis that technical reasons meant the services could be provided only by a particular economic operator. Keystream Group was selected for the single requirement, with one bid received, submitted electronically. The award was made on 26 March 2026. The active contract is valued at £126,500 GBP and runs for 360 days. The recorded contract provides for continuation of the Population Needs Analysis programme. The award data identifies Keystream Group as supplier, and the contract was signed on 26 March 2026. The associated lot is marked cancelled in the tender record, while the award and contract records are active. The evaluation criterion recorded for the lot was price.

This procurement indicates demand from Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for specialist population-needs and public-health consultancy delivered with continuity over a substantial programme. Suppliers most likely to compete credibly when a comparable requirement returns will need demonstrable experience in population health analysis, needs assessment, public-health evidence and translating analysis into a health-board work programme. They will also need the capacity to provide a suitably experienced consultant, retain knowledge across a multi-year programme and maintain stable delivery without a lengthy mobilisation period. Familiarity with NHS Wales structures, health inequalities, local population data and public-sector reporting would strengthen a supplier’s position. Experience of supplying consultants through public-sector frameworks, including CCS RM6277 or an equivalent route, would also be relevant. The single bid and technical-continuity rationale show the importance of distinctive expertise and an established understanding of the buyer’s programme.
