## Summary

Velindre University NHS Trust commissioned specialist consultancy for People Centred Transition Support during staff relocation to the new Velindre Cancer Centre. The work focuses on human-centred support for employees, with particular emphasis on wellbeing, engagement and organisational change. It falls within health and social work services (CPV 85000000). Delivery is in Cardiff. The buyer is Velindre University NHS Trust, which also acts as a central purchasing body. The requirement is suited to consultancies experienced in supporting workforce transitions, organisational change and major healthcare or facilities moves. Suppliers would need to understand the effect of relocation on staff and help an organisation manage engagement and wellbeing through a significant change programme.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Archus was selected as supplier, following a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition, using the RM6309 framework under its direct-award guidance. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 for £152,760. One bid was recorded, and it was evaluated entirely on cost. The procurement record identifies one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled while the related award and contract are active. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published outcome therefore shows a concluded direct framework award rather than an open competition. No contract duration or award date is stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist consultancy around a complex staff relocation into a new cancer centre. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical expertise in human-centred transition planning, organisational change, workforce engagement and staff wellbeing, rather than general management consultancy alone. Evidence of delivering change programmes involving healthcare organisations, large workforces, relocations or new facilities would be relevant. Suppliers should be able to combine stakeholder engagement with structured support for employees affected by change, and show how their work can maintain confidence, participation and organisational readiness. The buyer used a framework direct-award route and selected an SME through a cost-only evaluation, indicating that framework access, a proportionate delivery model and competitive pricing may be important when this requirement returns.
