## Summary

The contract is classified under the Physiotherapy services category and is valued at approximately £467,588.24. The location for service delivery is Wales, with the services scheduled to commence from 1st July 2026, extending up to 30th June 2027, with options to extend further. The procurement stage is currently in the Award phase under a Direct Award Process 2 method, following regulations under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This process initiated a standstill period set to conclude by 19th June 2026, with services provided primarily from facilities equipped to deliver physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapies for neurological conditions including cerebral palsy.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in neuro-disability care, particularly those with advanced expertise in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy services. Businesses that can provide high-quality, sustainable services that enhance patient outcomes and support continuity of care will find this contract to be well-aligned with their capabilities. The procurement is favourable for SMEs, like Cerebral Palsy Cymru, which has demonstrated capacity and capability in providing these services to a high standard. Engaging in this contract could potentially open avenues for business growth and reputation enhancement by delivering impactful healthcare services within an established collaborative healthcare consortium across Wales.

## Notice

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is acting on behalf of Hywel Dda University Health Board and Swansea Bay University Health Board, who together form a consortium for the procurement of neuro-disability therapy services for children and young people aged from birth to 19 years. This notice constitutes an Intention to Award Notice and confirms the Commissioner's intention to award a contract following the application of Direct Award Process 2 under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations. Direct Award Process 2 has been identified as the most appropriate procurement route for this requirement, as the existing contract is due to expire and the Commissioner proposes to replace it with a new contract at the end of its current term. The proposed contractual arrangements do not represent a considerable change to the existing service, and the Commissioner is satisfied that the current provider is delivering the contract to an acceptable standard and is likely to meet the requirements of the proposed contract. Publication of this Intention to Award Notice commences the standstill period in accordance with the applicable regulations. The standstill period will end on the 19th June 2026. No contract will be entered into before the conclusion of the standstill period. The services are intended to be provided from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with the option to extend for two further 12-month periods.
