## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services (hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust) has commenced the procurement process for a "Fast Track Service for Emergency or Specialised Support from Community Welfare Advice Service". The procurement is within the health services category and focuses on the Swansea Bay University Health Board region. This process is in the award stage, with the intention to award notice recently published, marking the start of the standstill period, set to end on 18th February 2026. The procurement is governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025 and is executed through a limited procurement method, without a prior call for competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in health and community services, particularly those accustomed to operating in areas with high deprivation. The incumbent provider, Citizens Advice Swansea Neath Port Talbot Limited, has been identified as the sole suitable supplier due to its existing capabilities and service delivery within the affected regions. The contract aims to enhance service delivery to meet unmet demands, aligning with the Public Health Outcome Framework, thus promising substantial business growth to qualified providers familiar with delivering community health services. The evaluation criteria prioritise service quality over cost, which underscores the importance of maintaining high service delivery standards for potential bidders.

## Notice

Citizens Advice Swansea Neath Port Talbot (CASNPT) has historically delivered an outreach service within the Afan Cluster (Glyncorrwg, Cwmavon, Blaengwynfi and Cymmer) which was deemed to have the highest deprivation at that time. However, the Health Board has high deprivation across its footprint and to manage unmet demand, this service will be expanded to meet the population's needs delivering an equitable service across Swansea and Neath Port Talbot. CASNPT services are in line with the Public Health Outcome Framework recognising the vision of improving and protecting the health and wellbeing, improving the health of the poorest, and the wider determinants of health (Domain two).
