## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has been actively involved in a procurement process concerning a Housing and Health Needs Assessment, particularly focusing on how housing affects public health in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The process, which falls within the service sector, utilised an open procedure for procurement, emphasising research and development services related to consultancy. The final award was made to Hugh Irwin Associates Ltd at a value of £37,000, with the contract active from 20th February 2026 to 31st March 2026. The tender has progressed from award to active contract status with various stages prior, including planning and submission, through eTender Wales Bravo platform.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in research, public health consultancy, and housing services to contribute to meaningful public health initiatives. Organisations that can offer innovative strategies to assess the impact of housing on health, especially concerning vulnerable groups like children and individuals in temporary housing, are particularly well-suited. Small and medium enterprises with expertise in these areas stand to benefit from the visibility and collaboration this project offers with NHS and local authorities, fostering growth and enabling businesses to expand their offerings within the public health domain.

## Notice

This contract is below threshold. The Public Health Team of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board recognises the important relationship between housing and health and is developing collaborative work on housing, within our Health Board and with wider NHS, local authority and third sector partners. To inform and target this work, we need to deepen our evidence-based understanding on how housing is affecting the health of our communities and whether unhealthy, unsafe, unsuitable or insecure housing is harming the health of certain population groups more than others. To do this, we require a Health Needs Assessment (HNA), which will systematically review the qualitative and quantitative evidence on housing and health in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. Alongside a wider assessment of housing and health, we are particularly interested in understanding more on how housing affects the health of children, people with disabilities, and the health of people in temporary housing situations. Hugh Irwin Associates have been awarded this below-threshold contract following an open-tender via eTender Wales.
