## Summary

NWSSP Procurement Services, in collaboration with the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (JCC), is planning a procurement process aimed at renewing the National Care Homes Framework Agreement for Adults (18+) focusing on Mental Health and Learning Disability Care Homes & Care Homes with Nursing in Wales. This potential procurement exercise is currently at the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement (PME) event scheduled virtually via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday, 30th April 2025. Interested organisations are to respond by Friday, 25th April 2025, to confirm attendance. The event, which will include both a presentation and Q&A session, offers an opportunity to inform providers about proposed changes before a formal procurement process begins later in 2025, potentially around August.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, especially those specialising in mental health and learning disabilities care. By engaging in the PME event, providers can gain early insight into forthcoming changes and align their services accordingly. This engagement is especially advantageous for care home operators, nursing service providers, and firms offering ancillary health services. The ability to meet with NWSSP and JCC representatives can help businesses better understand the scope of future procurement opportunities, positioning themselves for successful participation in upcoming tenders managed on behalf of various University Health Boards across Wales.
