## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is initiating the procurement process for the "Alliance Commissioning Dementia" project. The focus of this endeavour is on transforming the commissioning of Community Voluntary Sector services, particularly for dementia care in Gwent. The planned procurement is classified under the health and community health services industry category. This process marks a significant shift from traditional competitive tenders to a collaborative alliance-based contracting model. Key timelines indicate that the communication for this procurement will commence by 1st July 2025, with the contract period proposed from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2036. The project's governing legal framework is guided by the Public Sector Contracts Act 2023/54, and the office responsible is located in Newport and Cardiff, United Kingdom.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) by fostering a more collaborative and inclusive approach to healthcare service delivery. The focus on alliance-based commissioning encourages businesses that can integrate seamlessly into a partnership model, delivering citizen-focused outcomes. Organisations with experience in community health services, especially those committed to enhancing dementia care, would find this tender particularly well-suited to their expertise. With a substantial financial allocation, this initiative presents a considerable business growth prospect, especially for entities interested in developing comprehensive and sustainable healthcare solutions.

## Notice

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) is planning to transform the way we commission Community Voluntary Sector (Third Sector Services) for Dementia and in Gwent. We currently commission services, based on a traditional competitive tendering process, usually contracting with one service provider for one service area. We usually draw up the specification, based on a population needs assessment, and enter into a formal procurement tendering process, which sets individual voluntary sector organisations against each other in competition. We need to move away from this model to a more collaborative, alliance based contracting model or approach. The Alliance model enables us to become equal partners as part of a specific partnership, focusing on citizen outcomes within a seamless system of care and support for our citizens.
