## Summary

The procurement process involves the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, leading a contract titled "Local Enhancement of National Exercise Referral Scheme" in the health services industry category. The initiative is based in Cardiff, United Kingdom (UKL22). The procurement reached the contract award and completion stage on 13th November 2025. The scheme is implemented in collaboration with Cardiff Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council and runs until 31st March 2026. Notably, the procurement method was a direct award under Regulation 12 of The Public Contracts Regulations 2015, permitting contracts between public bodies aimed at common objectives. The contract value is noted at £188,600 GBP gross, and it addresses enhancing community health services by improving engagement and long-term participation in physical activities, especially in areas of need.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services and community action programmes to engage with local governance in collaborative ventures. Companies that can provide innovative solutions to enhance physical activity and community engagement, including technology-driven platforms or wellness programmes, may find lucrative opportunities. The focus on collaborating public bodies highlights the necessity for suppliers to work seamlessly with governmental bodies, suggesting that experienced entities in public-sector contracts would be well-suited to compete. The direct award nature of the procurement might also favour organisations with a history of cooperation and partnership with public entities. The specific focus on Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan allows businesses operating or looking to expand in these regions to leverage local needs and provisions for tailored health improvement initiatives.
