Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services is undertaking a public procurement process titled "3rd Sector Grant Scheme - Swansea Clusters," catering to the Health industry. This process aims to source, manage, and operate a local Third Sector Grant Scheme across the GP Cluster Networks in Swansea, UK. The procurement stage is at the Award phase, with the contract having been signed on 12th February 2025 for a duration from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, specifically awarding without prior publication due to the specialised nature of the service required, which necessitates extensive local knowledge and pre-established partnerships with third sector organisations in the area.

Businesses well-suited for this opportunity would be those with a profound understanding of local cluster network priorities, an ability to demonstrate established partnerships with third sector organisations, and a strong track record in securing value for money initiatives. The awarded contract, valued at £400,000, has been secured by SCVS (Swansea Council for Voluntary Service), an SME with deep-rooted local knowledge and links within the Swansea area, ensuring the effective delivery and management of the grant scheme to meet the community's needs.
