## Summary

The Hywel Dda Local University Health Board has awarded a contract under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, based on the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This contract involves commissioning medical assessments related to the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) for adults over the age of eighteen. The procurement falls within the health services category, specifically under the CPV code 85100000. The contract covers multiple regions under the UK's geographical code UKL14 and is set to be active for a period of 720 days, starting from the signing on 11 September 2025. The initial procurement process was managed through an open procedure and conducted via electronic submission, without any alternate variant bids allowed.

The opportunity generated by this contract provides avenues for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in mental health assessments and DoLS. Companies like Liquid Personnel have successfully secured a position as suppliers, indicating the requirement for a strong reputation in delivering high-quality, legally defensible assessments. SMEs and large organisations that have Section 12 approved assessors experienced in complying with Welsh legislative requirements could significantly benefit. This project will require cultural and linguistic sensitivity, adherence to national and local policies, and a flexible service capable of meeting specified assessment volumes, thereby promoting growth for service providers capable of meeting such demands within the health sector in Wales.

## Notice

Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB), in its role as a Supervisory Body under the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), is required to commission assessors in response to requests for DoLS Authorisations from its Managing Authorities. Requests for assessments are received from across the Health Board's inpatient locations, which include its four general hospitals, four community hospitals and its mental health and learning disability units. HDUHB employs its own team of Best Interest Assessors (BIAs) but needs to commission suitably qualified "Medical" Assessors to undertake the Mental Health and Eligibility assessments for adults aged eighteen (18) or over (DoLS Form 4)
