Cardiff and Vale Health Board NHS Wales is undertaking a critical programme of strategic transformation to shape the future of health and care delivery across the nation. This initiative seeks to develop a cohesive, long-term vision and strategy that addresses the evolving needs of the population, responds to systemic challenges, and ensures sustainable, integrated care models across all regions. following the end of the standstill period, the Health Board is now in a position to award the contract to the supplier.

### Procurement Information

NAPC Services Limited offers highly specialised and nationally recognised expertise in facilitating strategic collaboration across complex health systems. Their extensive experience includes direct engagement with Chief Executives from all seven Welsh Health Boards, as well as key national organisations such as Public Health Wales, HEIW, DHCW, and NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership. NAPC has played a central role in developing integrated neighbourhood care models and supporting long-term strategic planning for NHS Wales, contributing to the creation of a 10-year vision that addresses current challenges and identifies practical solutions for future transformation. Their facilitation of the Welsh CEO Forum and HEIW leadership workshops has further strengthened leadership alignment and strategic coherence across the system.
