Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded contracts for the "P0303A Hywel Dda Arts Referral Pathway (HARP)" programme. This initiative falls under the health sector and is aimed at delivering visual arts and crafts/mixed media programmes to patients in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, and Carmarthenshire who struggle with chronic conditions, social isolation, or mental health difficulties. The contracts, enabled by an open procurement method, were awarded on 23 March 2026 and the initiative is scheduled to commence in June 2026. The programme stands as a completed procurement stage with its focal outreach set for areas within the UKL14 region.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for arts organisations with experience in health-related programmes. The focus on improving patient health and wellbeing through arts initiatives aligns with the strategic aims of many social enterprises and medium-sized businesses in the creative sector. Organisations looking to expand their reach in the health and wellbeing domain can thrive by providing high-quality services that meet the project's emphasis on enhancing health outcomes and social inclusion. As demonstrated by the successful awards to small and medium-sized enterprises like A4W Innovation C.I.C. and Span Arts, there is ample room for businesses with strong capabilities in arts provision to be competitive in similar future tenders.
