## Summary

The Velindre University NHS Trust, alongside the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee and local health boards, is initiating a procurement process for a comprehensive National Framework aimed at providing services for adults aged 18 and over in Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Care Homes across Wales. This includes care homes with nursing services, under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales). The procurement follows a two-stage process with submission deadlines: Stage 1 is due by midday on 19th August 2026, and Stage 2 information will be available by 5th October 2026. The framework, estimated to be worth approximately £537 million, will commence on 1st April 2027 and last until 31st March 2035, covering residential health facilities services in the UKL region.

This tender is an excellent growth opportunity for healthcare service providers that specialise in residential and nursing care facilities for adults with mental health and learning disabilities. The framework's substantial budget and long duration allow participants to establish a strong, stable presence in the public health sector in Wales. Businesses with capabilities in collaborative health service delivery, equipped to address social responsibilities, and compliance with health standards and regulations will be appropriately positioned to benefit from this engagement. The framework's open nature, allowing new applicants annually, presents ongoing opportunities for businesses to enter or expand within this market.
