Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board commissioned GP-led memory clinic services across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The service is intended to support timely dementia assessment and strengthen dementia expertise within primary care. It falls within general-practitioner services and is a healthcare service requirement delivered across the Cardiff and Vale area. The buyer is Cardiff and Vale University Health Board, with the award decision made by its Medicine Clinical Board. The selected provider group comprises Catrin Roberts GP-led memory clinic, Llandaff North Medical Centre, Penarth Healthcare Partnership, Western Vale Family Practice and Lucy Lazarus. All five suppliers are recorded as small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by suitably capable GP practices, healthcare partnerships or specialist primary-care providers.

The procurement is complete and contracts were signed on 11 June 2026. It used the Provider Selection Regime Wales Direct Award Process 2, without a prior call for competition, to renew an existing service. The contract value is £204,847.50 excluding any separate values not stated. The recorded contract period is 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with the published procurement description also referring to a possible extension in 12-month increments. Five bids were received, all from SMEs. Evaluation was based entirely on quality: the existing provider’s performance and likelihood of meeting the proposed service standard accounted for 100%, while cost accounted for 0%. The award was made to the five named suppliers collectively.

This procurement shows established demand from Cardiff and Vale University Health Board for locally delivered, GP-led dementia assessment. Businesses best placed for a future requirement would be GP practices, primary-care partnerships or specialist healthcare providers able to operate memory clinics across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. Credibility would depend on demonstrating reliable delivery of the existing service, the clinical expertise needed for timely dementia assessment, and the ability to build dementia capability within primary care. The outcome also indicates that small providers can compete successfully: all five awarded suppliers are SMEs and all five recorded bids came from SMEs. A strong future proposition would therefore combine relevant clinical experience, dependable local coverage and evidence of service quality rather than competing principally on price.
