## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is moving forward with a procurement process under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. The process identifies an intention to award a contract under the framework agreement for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. This involves a placement between Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board and Cygnet Health Care Limited, focused on Lot 8 (Low Secure Mental Health Female). The process is currently in the award stage, with the standstill period commencing post-publication on 16th July 2025. Interested providers must submit representations by 25th July 2025. The procurement follows an open procedure, highlighting health and social work services under the CPV code 85000000, and is situated in the UK region of Wales.

This tender provides significant business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in healthcare services, particularly those experienced in mental health provisions. With the focus on high-quality, value-based healthcare, businesses with a solid reputation for delivering exceptional care in low secure mental health settings are well-suited to compete. The framework’s emphasis on collaboration, service sustainability, and social responsibility aligns with businesses that can demonstrate a commitment to improving access and reducing health inequalities, backed by sustainable practices. Given the strategic location and sector-specific focus, large healthcare providers like Cygnet Health Care, which is already listed as a provider, stand to benefit substantially from engaging in this tender.

This notice is an intention to award a contract based on a framework agreement with a competition. Under the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services, a placement is proposed between Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board and Cygnet Health Care Limited. This proposed placement is initiated under Lot 8 (Low Secure Mental Health Female ) of the Framework Agreement as a potential call-off contract. The proposed call off requirement was considered with the basic selection and key criterion as detailed below. Framework providers were evaluated by Commissioners, responsible for a patient placement, under the CAARE criteria to determine (i) under which Framework Lot the Patient's care requirement falls and (ii) the number of observations hours required to meet the patients' needs by Enhanced Packages of Care / Additional Services. This was assessed under the following key criterion as stated in PSR Wales Regulations 2025 and aligned within the Framework; 1. Quality - Assurance rating, in the order of the Hospital / Unit with the highest Quality Assurance Rating first within the applicable Framework lot. 2. Value - Framework Ranking by price - in the order of lowest composite price Hospital / Unit within the applicable framework lot. 3. Collaboration and service sustainability - Exact clinical, geographical and social needs of the Patient, including patient outcomes. 4. Improving access and reducing health inequalities - Availability of beds in Hospital / Units within the required Framework Lot and within pre-agreed radius significant to a patient. 5. Social Responsibility - review of a providers community benefits proposal. The length of the placement is based on patient need and therefore, is undetermined at present. The supplier is a current provider on the framework and this notice refers to a new placement.
