## Summary

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW), located in Cardiff, has awarded a contract under the title "Strategic Workforce Modelling Support – Phase 2" in the education and training services category. The procurement was conducted through the Bloom NEPRO³ framework without competition, as a direct call-off contract to enhance workforce planning for NHS Wales. This stage of the procurement has reached the award phase, as of 1 August 2025, with the focus on improving analytical capabilities and refining workforce models.

This tender offers opportunities for businesses skilled in workforce modelling and scenario analysis, specifically those in the public sector service delivery space.

The contract's focus on enhancing NHS Wales's internal capabilities makes it suitable for consultancies and technology providers specialising in healthcare workforce analytics and strategic planning, advocating for innovative solutions minus the overheads associated with competitive tendering.
