## Summary

The Cluster Third Sector Grant Scheme, initiated by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services and hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is a public procurement process focusing on the provision of community services in Swansea. The contract, valued at £400,000, spans from 1st October 2021 to 31st March 2023 and aims to support local third sector organisations identified by GP Cluster Networks. The procurement method employed was a limited award procedure, executed without prior publication of a call for competition, indicating the specialised nature of the services required, which necessitates a strong grasp of local needs and priorities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in community service provision, particularly those with established connections to local health systems and a robust understanding of the socio-economic landscape in Swansea. Businesses with expertise in public health, community engagement, and social prescribing are well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially leading to enhanced visibility, partnerships, and funding for local initiatives that address community needs.
