Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board commissioned relationship and sex education, including sexual health education and training services. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. The work is classified as education and training services, with health training as the specific service area. Delivery covers four areas in Wales: North Wales, South West Wales, Mid Wales and Swansea and South Wales. The requirement is for an ongoing service to provide education and training, rather than goods or construction work. The contract is relevant to providers with expertise in relationship and sex education and the ability to deliver sexual health education and training across the specified Welsh areas.

The procurement has been awarded to Cwmni Addysg Rhyw, an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The award date was 24 September 2026. The award value is £470,808 excluding VAT (£564,969.60 including VAT). The contract period is 6 October 2026 to 5 October 2029, with three possible 12-month extensions, up to 5 October 2032. This was a single-lot, open procedure. The tender was evaluated on the most advantageous tender basis, with quality weighted at 60% and cost at 40%. One bid was received and evaluated. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026, with enquiries closing on 20 July 2026; the award decision period was due to end on 28 August 2026.

The award demonstrates demand from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board for relationship and sex education and sexual health education and training delivered across multiple areas of Wales. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the technical capability to provide the specified education and training service across the delivery area, alongside a delivery model suited to a multi-year commitment with potential extensions. The winning tender was assessed as the most advantageous through a combined quality and cost evaluation, with quality carrying greater weight than price. Suppliers should therefore be able to show strong technical quality as well as competitive pricing. The selected provider is an SME and social enterprise, indicating that organisations of this scale and type have competed successfully for this requirement.
