## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, for a service contract under the Provider Selection Regime Wales. This is an intention to award notice, signifying the commencement of the standstill period, which concludes on 25th July 2025. The contract is related to the provision of services for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disability, and CAMHS hospitals with Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board. The industry category for this process is health and social work services, and the location is primarily within the United Kingdom (Wales). The procurement stage is currently at the award phase as per the regulations detailed in the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. The open procedure was employed for this procurement process under a National Collaborative Framework agreement.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those capable of meeting the demands of locked rehabilitation (controlled egress) mental health services. Companies like Rushcliffe Independent Hospital—named as the potential supplier—are at an advantage, especially if they can demonstrate high quality assurance ratings and cost-effective service provision. Firms with expertise in providing enhanced care packages or additional services within a specified geographical area may find this opportunity particularly beneficial for expanding their operations. Being part of such collaborative frameworks not only broadens industry presence but also contributes positively to addressing health inequalities while supporting community health objectives.
