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

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has recently completed the award stage of a procurement exercise for a Virtual Consultant Support service in Specialist Palliative Care. This service falls under the health industry category and is set to be delivered in regions UKL16 and UKL21. The procurement process was carried out through a Direct Award Process 1 (DAP1) under the PSR Regulations (Wales), which warranted a limited procurement method, bypassing competitive tendering due to continuity reasons. The award was signed on 11th March 2026, following the standstill period which commenced with the publication of the intention to award notice. The contract value is set at £8,500 GBP.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on health services. The award was secured by SUPPORTIVE CARE (UK) LIMITED, demonstrating that SMEs with a specialised focus on palliative care can find valuable projects within the public sector. Such contracts allow businesses to establish or enhance their reputation within the health services industry, offering a stable revenue stream and potential for future collaborations. Businesses operating in the UK health services sector and capable of delivering specialised virtual consultancy would especially benefit from such procurement processes.
