In a recent procurement process initiated by the Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB), the contracting process for the provision of bereavement services in the North and South Ceredigion Cluster Areas has reached the award stage. The process, governed by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, is set to expand bereavement services in these areas. The contract, with an initial two-year period and an optional one-year extension, was competed through an open procedure.

An intention to award notice was published on 5th June 2026, marking the start of the standstill period with representations accepted until 15th June 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses focusing on community health services to expand their operations in the rural regions of Ceredigion.
