Summary of the contracting process

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW), the NHS Wales authority responsible for developing the healthcare workforce, commissioned educational supervision services in Wales. The supervisors are intended to support post-registration programmes and credentialling pathways for pharmacist registrants seeking enhanced, advanced and consultant credentials from the Royal College of Pharmacy. The requirement is to establish a pool of multiple supervisors who can be called on as needed; engagement is non-committal and does not guarantee any work. The service falls within education and training. It supports HEIW’s work to educate and develop the healthcare workforce and, in turn, to support high-quality care in Wales. The requirement was run as a mini-competition under the Bloom NEPRO3 framework, with the selected provider being Bloom Procurement Services Ltd.

The procurement is complete. HEIW selected Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, and the contract is active. The contract value is £339,000. It was signed on 25 September 2026; no award date or contract duration is stated here. The requirement was procured through a limited procedure using the Bloom NEPRO3 framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. HEIW said market research identified the framework as the suitable and compliant route for securing a pool of educational supervisors. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was recorded for the lot, from an SME. The lot is marked cancelled in the procurement data, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the published outcome identifies Bloom Procurement Services Ltd as the selected supplier.

For suppliers who did not win, this procurement is evidence that HEIW purchases educational supervision to support pharmacist post-registration training and professional credentialling in Wales. A credible competitor would need to provide suitably qualified educational supervisors able to support programmes and credentialling pathways leading to enhanced, advanced and consultant credentials. The requirement was structured as a pool of multiple providers, with work commissioned on a non-committal call-off basis, so suppliers would need to be prepared for variable demand rather than guaranteed volumes. HEIW used the Bloom NEPRO3 framework following market research and assessed the competition on price. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should therefore be able to meet the framework’s route-to-market requirements, offer relevant supervision capability and price that service competitively.
