OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process for the Swansea Bay Health Board, titled "Swansea Bay Health Board - Provision of Finance support consultancy". This project falls within the healthcare industry category, specifically focusing on finance support services. The buying organisation is located in Neath Port Talbot, UK, and the procurement process was conducted under a limited method due to urgent requirements. This initiative, categorised under COFOG code 07 for Health, was awarded on 2 July 2025 without prior publication of a call for competition, facilitated through the Crown Commercial Services Management consultancy framework RM6187 – Lot 4 Finance.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large consultancy firms, particularly those with expertise in finance, as demonstrated by the successful awarding of the contract to DELOITTE LLP. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) did not submit bids for this round, the framework agreement approach and the urgency of the service present potential future opportunities for growth and involvement. Businesses experienced in providing consultancy services to healthcare organisations and navigating government frameworks would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders, particularly those prioritizing high-quality service delivery, as the award criteria heavily weighted towards quality at 80% and commercial considerations at 20%.
