## Summary

This procurement process is centred on the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, for the provision of specialist trauma-informed counselling services for survivors of sexual assault. Falling under the category of medical specialist services, it is located within regions UKL15 and UKL17 in the United Kingdom. The process has progressed to the contract award stage, with the contract formally awarded on 12th March 2026. This notice is facilitated through the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) using Direct Award Process 2, with regulations such as the Health Services Provider Selection Regime (Wales) Regulations 2025 taking precedence over other general public procurement laws. The contract, valued at £283,296, has a duration of 30 days.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare and counselling services, especially those with expertise in trauma-informed care. With NHS Wales as the contracting authority, successful suppliers will gain access to regional markets with consistent demand for expert counselling services, potentially fostering long-term partnerships and leading to further contracts within the healthcare sector. Medium and small enterprises, such as New Pathways, which has successfully secured this contract, are particularly well-suited to cater to this niche as these tailored services address sensitive and complex patient needs. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector would benefit from similar opportunities in health service procurement.
