## Summary

The recent procurement process by Life Sciences Hub Wales Ltd involves the award of a contract for "Business Case Development" aimed at developing a Government Business Case for the period 2026 to 2031. Located in Cardiff, this public authority, overseen by Welsh devolved regulations, initiated an open, below-threshold competition for consultancy services in the field of business analysis, research and development, and general management. The procurement, which began in April 2025, concluded with Healthcare Innovation Consortium Ltd, based in Macclesfield, being awarded the contract valued at £50,879.99 (gross). The contract commenced on 10th June 2025 and is set to run through 30th September 2025, ensuring alignment with the Welsh Government's health and social care policies.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultants with expertise in business case development and management consultancy services to expand their service offerings within the UK public sector. SMEs particularly stand to benefit given the procurement's focus on fostering business growth and economic development aligned with stakeholder expectations. Companies with a background in life sciences, and experience in working within national or regional frameworks for consultancy services, would be well-suited to engage in such opportunities, promoting sustainable business development and forging strategic partnerships within the vibrant sector of health and social care innovation.

The Plan is intended to ensure Life Sciences Hub Wales's activity: * is aligned with funder and stakeholder expectation; * meets needs to deliver economic development and healthcare benefits for Wales; * reflects best practice internationally; and * maximises the impact of the services offered by Life Sciences Hub Wales In line with the Life Sciences Hub Wales Board ambition, in addition to building on current activity the Plan will also address the wider context, including the need for change in Wales, and will review opportunities and explore bold options. Life Sciences Hub Wales seeks to procure an external consultant ("the Contractor") to work with the Life Sciences Hub Wales management team to assist with the development of the Plan.
