This contract, with a value of £238,348 gross (£198,625 net), focuses on developing a Quality Management System (QMS) to enhance healthcare quality management across NHS Wales. The process was conducted as an open procedure under the UK legislation 2023/54, and a contract was awarded to The Health Foundation, a large-scale organisation located in London. The contract period starts from 1st July 2025 and is set to end on 30th June 2027, with the option to extend for an additional 12 months at the discretion of NHS Performance and Improvement. This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specializing in healthcare quality systems and management consultancy. It highlights demand for expertise in QMS development, leadership, and organisational culture improvements within the healthcare sector. While The Health Foundation has secured the contract, the procurement landscape demonstrates a valuable niche for businesses that are equipped to deliver innovative solutions in healthcare management and related services. Such opportunities are well-suited for large organisations with experience and capability in handling significant contracts and implementing broad-scale health initiatives. Small to medium enterprises, however, should also consider the potential for future involvement, as phases or similar projects may arise. ## Notice Quality in healthcare in NHS Wales is underpinned by the Duty of Quality, which came into effect in April 2023 as part of the Health and Social Care (Quality and Engagement) (Wales) Act 2020 and to achieve its aim of ensuring a system-wide focus on quality, the Duty requires NHS organisations to establish effective Quality Management Systems (QMS) that focus on learning and are driven by their Boards. Within Phase 2 of the Safe Care Partnership, the Quality, Safety & Improvement Directorate within NHS Performance and Improvement sought to engage the services of a suitably competent and experienced supplier to support with the development of the QMS to evolve and embed the leadership, culture and learning system to deliver improvements in care that are part of the broader organisational quality management system. Following the completion of a procurement process, a contract has now been awarded. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: An optional 12 month extension period is included. ### Planning Information The engagement process for this opportunity is an informal process and any suppliers who may be interested in this opportunity should email Christopher Squires (christopher.squires@wales.nhs.uk). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036085-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | 25 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | 19 Mar 2025 | | Award date | 3 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2025 - 30 Jun 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | £200,000 | | Awards value | £198,625 | | Contracts value | £198,625 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PUBLIC HEALTH WALES NHS TRUST | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 4BZ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Butetown | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | THE HEALTH FOUNDATION | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79900000 - Miscellaneous business and business-related services ## Release History - 30 Jun 2025 at 12:19 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036085-2025 - 5 Jun 2025 at 17:18 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030417-2025 - 24 Mar 2025 at 17:30 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011002-2025 - 18 Mar 2025 at 14:56 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009934-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036085-2025 30th June 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030417-2025 5th June 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011002-2025 24th March 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/009934-2025 18th March 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
