Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Counselling Services under the PSR Wales Regulations. This competitive process covers Multiple Lots across the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and includes activities such as Face to Face, Virtual/Remote, and EMDR & CT-PTSD Counselling services with an active status as of 5th January 2026. Located in Cardiff and covering regions UKL16 and UKL21, the initiative has a total value of £1,000,000 and was undertaken using the open procedure, highlighting both quality and price as key award criteria, each weighted at 40% and 60%, respectively. The official tender process commenced in October 2025, concluding submissions by the 26th of November 2025 with the procurement phase having reached the award stage with active contracts now in place.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those experienced in counselling services, to expand their operations and clientele within the UK. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as Health Is One Ltd and ADFERIAD RECOVERY LIMITED, have been successful in securing contracts, showcasing that businesses of various scales can compete effectively. Companies offering quality counselling services, especially those with capabilities in delivering both in-person and virtual counselling, or specialised therapy such as EMDR, stand to benefit significantly from participating in such public procurement opportunities. The framework agreement also opens avenues for future engagements due to the potential for contract renewals and an established structured procurement process by NHS Wales.
