UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, in Cardiff, who extended an existing bed management service contract. This extension, executed through a direct award, covers a two-month period to allow the Swansea Bay Health Board to prepare for a subsequent service contract. The contract, classified under health and social work services and located primarily in the UKL18 region, was awarded to the supplier Arjo, with key completion dates between 17th August 2026 and 19th October 2026. The procurement is in the 'complete' stage as of the latest update, with award notices published on 29th July 2026.

This tender extension offers significant opportunities for growth for businesses involved in healthcare services, particularly those specialising in bed management and associated logistics. Large-scale suppliers, like Arjo, who can offer comprehensive solutions tailored to public health sector needs, are well-positioned to leverage such direct awards. This scenario underscores the potential for companies to secure business continuity through strategic direct awards during transitional periods of public health service provision.
