UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee, hosted by Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, commissioned an independent review of the Adult Welsh Gender Service. This is a professional consultancy and advisory assignment covering the review of an NHS gender service in Wales. The requirement is intended to provide an independent assessment of the service rather than the delivery of clinical treatment or routine operational support. The buying organisation is part of the Welsh NHS and the work concerns the Welsh Gender Service, so suppliers need to understand the Welsh health system and the context in which adult gender services are commissioned and delivered. The service falls within business and management consultancy, including consultancy support for health organisations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGEM CSU) on 15 September 2026. It used a direct award under Lot 2 of the NHSSBS Consultancy and Advisory Services for Health Framework, described as below threshold and without competition. One provider was invited and one proposal was received. The award value is £48,155.83 excluding VAT, or £57,787 including VAT. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 15 April 2027, with signature scheduled for 28 September 2026. The tender has one completed lot. The stated route was chosen to provide a compliant process, rapid mobilisation for project timelines and value for money through pre-established framework pricing.

This procurement demonstrates demand from NHS Wales for independent review and consultancy support relating to adult gender services. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need credible experience of conducting independent reviews in healthcare, assessing service design or delivery, and producing evidence-based findings for NHS commissioning stakeholders. Knowledge of Welsh NHS structures and the policy and operational context of gender services would be relevant. The appointed provider was a large commissioning support organisation, indicating that the work suited a supplier with established health-sector advisory capability and the capacity to mobilise and deliver a defined review assignment. Access to, and compliance with, the relevant health consultancy framework was central to this route, alongside the ability to offer transparent, pre-agreed pricing.
