NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract under its framework agreement for adults aged 18 and above in mental health and learning disabilities (MH&LD) care homes with nursing. The procurement falls within the health sector and covers services in the UKL region. This award notice, dated 24 June 2025, marks the completion of the tender process, which was executed using an open procedure, demonstrating transparency and inclusivity in sourcing suppliers. The contract was signed on 26 March 2025, with Ocean Community Services Ltd being selected as the supplier after winning the only bid submitted, verifying the competitive nature of the procurement.

This award framework creates opportunities for businesses specialising in care services for adults with mental health and learning disabilities. SMEs involved in providing nursing care in care home settings are particularly well-suited to partake in such tenders, given the streamlined procedures allowing direct engagement with health boards in Wales. The awarded contract, valued at £240,731.40, indicates significant market potential for businesses aiming to establish or expand their services in the health sector, contrasting traditional domestic focus with the challenges of integrating into public contract offerings without foreign competition.
