Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board proposed an adult mental-health inpatient placement at Aberbeeg Hospital, provided by Elysium Healthcare Limited. The requirement sits within the National Collaborative Framework for adult mental health and concerns a patient placement under its adult mental-health framework. The service is intended to meet the patient’s clinical and geographical needs while maintaining contact with the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT), regular commissioning reviews and access to a step-down facility supporting recovery. The work is psychiatric hospital services, including enhanced packages of care or additional services where required. Aberbeeg Hospital is the named delivery site; the buyer is based at St Cadoc’s Hospital in Newport. The arrangement is a potential framework call-off for a new placement with an existing framework provider.

The process has reached an intention-to-award stage under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, with Elysium Healthcare Limited selected for the placement. The notice states that the contract was signed on 22 July 2026 and records an active contract, although it also says formal award remained subject to the standstill process. Representations were due to decision makers by 22 July 2026. The proposed call-off was considered under framework lot 7, while the published lot is marked cancelled. The procurement used an open procedure under the adult mental-health framework. Evaluation considered quality and price, alongside clinical need, value for money, geographical fit, bed availability and confidence in the provider. One bid was recorded. The contract value is nominally £1, as sensitive commercial information was withheld, and the placement duration is based on patient need.

This outcome indicates demand for specialist adult mental-health hospital placements that can provide continuity with community services and structured recovery support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an appropriate psychiatric hospital setting, the ability to match patients to exact clinical and geographical needs, and capacity to provide enhanced care packages or additional observation hours when required. Evidence of good outcomes, value for money and dependable clinical delivery would be important, as would practical bed availability and confidence from commissioners. Providers should understand the CAARE assessment approach and the National Collaborative Framework route, including the relevant adult mental-health framework lot. Experience supporting step-down care, maintaining CMHT contact and working through regular commissioning reviews would strengthen their position with Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.
