Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is procuring continued specialist suicide bereavement support services for people of any age affected by the death by suicide of someone aged 26 or over. The service will support individuals and communities across the health board’s full geographical area in south-east Wales. Delivery must be accessible, timely and person-centred, with a strong face-to-face element. The expected service includes community-based appointments, home visits where clinically or operationally suitable, peer support groups, and attendance at relevant community events. This is a health service requirement, suited to organisations providing bereavement, suicide prevention, mental health, community support or related clinical and support services.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited written offers through the Most Suitable Provider Process under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. There is one lot, using an open procedure, with price as the stated award criterion. The tender submission deadline was 10 September 2026 at 12:00 noon; bids were to remain valid until 23:59 on the same date. The proposed contract period is 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2030. Its estimated value is £250,000, including the stated currency of GBP. The award period was scheduled to begin on 11 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, with bid opening at that time. Documents attracted a participation fee, and variants were not allowed.

This opportunity suits an established specialist provider able to deliver suicide bereavement support consistently across a broad geographical area. Strong candidates will need capability in person-centred support for people affected by suicide, including those supporting children, adults and communities following a death involving someone aged 26 or over. The requirement favours organisations with practical capacity for community appointments and suitable home visits, alongside the ability to organise and sustain peer support groups. Experience of engaging with communities and attending relevant local events is important. Providers should be able to combine accessible and timely face-to-face work with the clinical, safeguarding, operational and partnership arrangements needed for reliable health and community support delivery.
