## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract for the evaluation of systems response after suicides in Wales. The procurement process, which reached the award stage on 28th April 2026 and was completed on 1st June 2026, falls under the services category, specifically focusing on business and management consultancy. This open competition was conducted below the threshold with an awarded value of £55,293. The project spans from 1st June 2026 to 31st March 2027 and is to be executed across various locations in the UK, specifically within the UKL region. The supplier, Sheffield Hallam University (CRESR), was selected to perform this crucial evaluation. Notably, the entire procurement process was conducted using the open method, aligned with the legal framework as outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for organisations engaged in business and management consultancy services, particularly for those skilled in evaluating health and social systems. While the tender process is now in the award stage, understanding its mechanisms and areas of focus can serve as valuable market intelligence for firms looking to position themselves for future NHS tenders. Companies that specialise in data analysis, impact assessment, and stakeholder engagement would be well-suited to similar evaluations. Although aimed at a large supplier in this instance, the opportunity also exists for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in future contracts that explore community benefits, social impacts, and system-wide evaluations within the Welsh healthcare context.
