Summary of the contracting process

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) is procuring services to support undergraduate pharmacy education in Wales. The requirement is for Swansea University to manage and distribute funding for undergraduate pharmacy students undertaking approved clinical placements. The funding is intended to meet placement-related expenses, reduce financial barriers to participation and support practice-based learning. This is an education and training service, covering activity delivered in Wales. HEIW is the buyer, while NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the procurement. The requirement is focused on pharmacy students and clinical placement funding rather than the direct delivery of general healthcare, construction or wider student services.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. HEIW used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Swansea University was selected on 11 September 2026 for the single lot. The awarded contract value is £96,938 gross, including any applicable taxes. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with signature scheduled for 25 September 2026. The award covers the education and training service for managing and distributing pharmacy placement funding in Wales. The published outcome identifies Swansea University as the awarded supplier; there is no competitive evaluation basis because the contract was awarded directly without competition.

This award indicates demand for a supplier able to administer public funding linked to undergraduate pharmacy placements and to support practice-based learning in Wales. A credible future competitor would need to understand pharmacy education, approved clinical placement arrangements and the financial pressures faced by students undertaking placements. Relevant capability would include administering payments or expense support accurately, maintaining clear records, coordinating with students and placement stakeholders, and handling public funds with appropriate governance and accountability. Experience working with universities, NHS organisations, healthcare education bodies or regulated professional training would be useful evidence of fit. The requirement suits an organisation with the capacity to manage a defined education-funding programme across Wales and communicate effectively with placement participants.
