## Summary

The procurement process for the "Velindre University NHS Trust - Culture and Leadership Programme" was initiated by Velindre University NHS Trust, a public authority based in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The organisation operates within the healthcare sector, employing over 2,184 staff for services across Wales. This procurement, categorised under miscellaneous services, sought a partner to enhance culture and leadership within the Trust. The tender process utilised an open procedure, and the key stages included a submission deadline on 27th March 2026, with an evaluation window closing by 11th May 2026. The initial contract period was set to start on 1st June 2026, ending on 30th September 2027, with the possibility of a two-month extension. However, this tender was later cancelled due to changes in the scope of the specification, as announced on 3rd June 2026.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in organisational development, particularly those with expertise in healthcare environments, to contribute to an expansive programme aimed at improving leadership and culture within the NHS. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were considered suitable to compete, given the criteria set by Velindre University NHS Trust. Such collaborations could not only enhance the contractor's portfolio and credibility in healthcare but also position them as pivotal contributors in a vital sector facing diverse challenges and growth possibilities.

## Notice

Velindre University NHS Trust is a health care organisation employing around 2,184 people in a range of clinical, scientific and support roles. We provide cancer services in south-east Wales and Blood and Transplantation services across Wales, as well as hosting service functions on behalf of NHS Wales. This includes Health Technology Wales and NWSSP, which is a shared services function supporting NHS Wales. Cancer services are commissioned by Health Boards and operate at the intersection of specialist clinical care, research, and national operational delivery. The complexity of our environment -- spanning cancer care pathways, blood supply chains, laboratory services, and system partnerships -- requires a governance structure and culture that is collaborative, agile, and compassionate.
