Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board commissioned a residential nursing placement for an adult with mental health needs at Cwm Celyn. The requirement is for residential nursing care services, including qualified nurses and an enhanced package of care or additional services where required. The placement is intended to support continuity with the patient’s current community mental health team, remain close to home and the clinical team, and promote social inclusion. The work is delivered within the Health Board’s catchment area in Wales. The selected provider is Shaw Healthcare (Group) Ltd, trading as the operator of Cwm Celyn. The placement is a new patient placement from an existing framework provider.

The procurement has reached the award stage under the Provider Selection Regime for Wales, using a call-off from Lot CS7 of the National Collaborative framework for adult mental health. Shaw Healthcare (Group) Ltd was selected, and the contract is recorded as active and signed on 10 July 2026. The contract period is 360 days, with the placement length otherwise driven by patient need. The recorded contract value is £1 GBP. The Commissioning Team for Mental Health and Learning Disabilities assessed the requirement using the framework’s CAARE criteria and two framework questions. The decision considered the provider’s ability to meet all identified needs, available beds, qualified nursing provision, proximity to home and the clinical team, and location within the Health Board’s catchment area.

This requirement suits established residential care providers able to support adults with mental health conditions and provide nursing-led placements. A credible supplier would need qualified nurses, suitable accommodation and beds available for new placements, and the clinical capability to deliver enhanced care or additional services where an individual’s needs require them. Familiarity with multidisciplinary team requirements, community mental health services and discharge planning would be important. Providers would also need to demonstrate that they can maintain continuity of care, work closely with the commissioning and clinical teams, and support social inclusion. Framework eligibility and the ability to meet its mental-health placement criteria are central to competing for comparable requirements from this Health Board.
