## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process concerning post-registration clinical management education. The procurement was conducted via direct award under the Procurement Act 2023 to Cardiff University, ensuring continuity and progression for existing students within the MSc programmes. This contract focuses on delivering high-quality adult education services at the university level, encompassing areas such as advanced clinical practice and non-medical prescribing, relevant to the healthcare sector in Cardiff, Wales. The contract commenced on 27th November 2025 and will run until 5th October 2028, with Cardiff University identified as the sole capable provider due to unique programme structures.

The tender presents significant business growth opportunities for education providers specialising in healthcare credentials and skills development. Given Cardiff University's role as a supplier, other educational institutions offering similar post-registration programmes and tailored clinical assessments may find opportunities to collaborate or provide complementary certification solutions. Additionally, businesses supplying educational materials and technology solutions for advanced clinical education can engage during the ongoing programme delivery. Organisations with expertise in supporting the healthcare industry's educational needs may also find client expansion opportunities within such contracts.

## Notice

The Health Board is committed to supporting the development of a highly skilled workforce capable of delivering safe, effective, and advanced patient care. As part of this commitment, the Health Board is seeking to secure high-quality post-registration academic education that aligns with clinical service needs and supports staff progression into enhanced, advanced practice and consultant level practice. The programme includes tailored clinical assessment modules such as generic, paediatric-specific, advanced assessment, and minor illness and incorporates non-medical prescribing. Learners on the Advanced Clinical Practitioner (ACP) route can complete a 60-credit advanced practice portfolio as a dissertation, aligning academic learning with clinical competencies. For those pursuing alternative professional pathways, a work-based project dissertation provides a relevant and practical alternative, broadening the programme's applicability across the wider workforce.

### Procurement Information

The proposed contract with Cardiff University will be awarded via direct award under the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023, Schedule 5, Section 7 (a)(b) - Additional or Repeat Goods, Services or Works. A change of provider at this stage would disrupt clinical workforce development plans and create significant operational challenges. Many learners are mid-way through Cardiff University's MSc programmes or have accumulated credits through standalone modules that are uniquely structured in 30-credit blocks, making the university the only institution locally able to integrate those credits into a full MSc. Transferring to another provider would risk the loss of those credits, duplicate learning, delay qualification timelines, and introduce unnecessary additional costs
