## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is currently handling a tender process for a significant framework aimed at providing services for adults aged 18 and above in mental health and learning disabilities care homes, including those with nursing facilities across Wales. This procurement, falling under the health and social work services category (CPV: 85000000), is structured into nine lots, each addressing different care settings. The tender process, initiated on 21 October 2025, is in the active stage with the open procedure as the chosen procurement method. Interested suppliers must submit their proposals electronically by 17 November 2025. The framework, which originally began in October 2016, is set to remain operational until 31 March 2026, following the utilisation of a 24-month extension option from 1 March 2024.

This procurement framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in managing mental health and learning disabilities care settings. Firms that can demonstrate high quality standards, competitive pricing, and a commitment to social responsibility, including community benefits, stand to benefit significantly. With an annual spend of approximately GBP 130 million no volume is guaranteed, it is a lucrative opportunity for providers to tap into a well-established procurement cycle and collaborate with several health boards and local authorities across Wales. Organisations with capabilities in innovation, sustainable service delivery, and improving health equality outcomes are well-suited to tender for this opportunity, potentially enabling robust business growth and extensive service delivery across the region.
