Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is procuring specialist suicide bereavement support services for people affected by the death by suicide of someone aged 26 or over. The service must cover the full Aneurin Bevan Health Board area in south-east Wales and include face-to-face support, community-based appointments, home visits where appropriate, peer support groups and attendance at community events. The provider will need to deliver timely, responsive and equitable in-person support across the area. This is a health service requirement, with the Health Board as buyer. The work is intended for organisations experienced in supporting people bereaved by suicide and able to operate across both urban and community settings throughout the Health Board area.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited interested providers to submit written expressions of interest under the Provider Selection Regime’s Most Suitable Provider Process, using an open procedure. A provider has already been identified as the most suitable, and the notice forms the 14-calendar-day period before step 2 concludes. Written submissions in English were due by 5 August 2026 at 3pm. The award assessment and bid opening were scheduled for 5 August 2026 at 3.30pm. The estimated contract duration is 1,440 days, with no renewal or additional purchasing options. The estimated value is £250,000. Key criteria will be used to assess the provider, and alternative bids are not allowed.

This opportunity suits specialist bereavement, mental health, counselling, suicide prevention and community support providers with relevant experience of supporting people affected by suicide. Strong candidates will need the staffing, local coverage and operational systems to provide face-to-face services across the entire Aneurin Bevan Health Board area, including community appointments, appropriate home visits, peer support groups and community events. The requirement is particularly relevant to organisations able to respond promptly and equitably across different communities, maintain suitable safeguarding and support arrangements, and coordinate a dependable service over a substantial delivery period. Providers considering the opportunity should also be able to demonstrate the practical capacity to provide regular in-person support rather than relying solely on remote or telephone delivery.
