Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board is procuring the Gwent Warm and Well Programme, a community health service (CPV 85323000) delivered within the Health Board’s area in Gwent. The programme is intended to continue established service delivery and support externally funded activity, including Welsh Government initiatives. The work involves maintaining the programme’s delivery arrangements and outcomes, including established referral pathways. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, managed the procurement on the Health Board’s behalf. The awarded supplier, Severn Wye Energy Agency, is based in Gloucester.

The procurement is complete and the Health Board selected Severn Wye Energy Agency through a direct award. The stated rationale was that the provider had previously delivered the service and has specialist knowledge, operational arrangements, referral networks and delivery mechanisms. Continuity was considered important to meeting externally funded objectives within required timescales. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. Its awarded gross value is £200,000 (net value £166,666.67). This was a single-lot procurement, marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was recorded on 15 October 2026; a contract signature was scheduled for 27 October 2026.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, this award shows the importance of delivering community health programmes with reliable continuity and established local referral networks. A credible provider would need specialist knowledge of the programme and the ability to mobilise operational arrangements that preserve service delivery and avoid disruption. Experience meeting externally funded programme objectives, including Welsh Government requirements and timescales, would also be relevant. The buyer’s rationale places particular weight on avoiding transition delays and maintaining effective delivery, so evidence of strong implementation planning and working relationships with referral partners would help demonstrate capability. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that these supplier types can be relevant to this requirement. The selected supplier was an energy agency delivering a community health service.‌
