## Summary

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) is procuring services to manage and distribute funding for undergraduate pharmacy students undertaking approved clinical placements in Wales. The funding is intended to meet placement-related expenses, reduce financial barriers to participation and support practice-based learning. This is an education and training service, with delivery across Wales. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, manages the procurement for HEIW. The selected provider is Cardiff University’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, indicating a requirement closely linked to pharmacy education, student support and clinical placement arrangements. The service is relevant to universities, pharmacy schools, healthcare education providers and organisations with established systems for administering student funding connected to approved placements.

This procurement has been awarded through a direct award, using the stated rationale of additional or repeat services, an extension or partial replacement. It is complete at tender level and covers one lot. Cardiff University was selected as supplier; the award is recorded as pending. The award date is 11 September 2026, with a standstill period ending on 24 September 2026. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, and the scheduled signature date is 25 September 2026. The awarded value is £151,399. The service is classified as education and training. The procurement is above the relevant threshold. The buyer is HEIW, with NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership acting as the procuring entity.

This award shows demand from HEIW for a provider able to administer and distribute funding for undergraduate pharmacy students during approved clinical placements in Wales. A credible future competitor would need a strong understanding of pharmacy education and practice-based learning, together with reliable processes for verifying eligible placements, managing student-related expense funding and making accurate, auditable distributions. Relationships with pharmacy schools, universities, healthcare education bodies and placement providers would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to support students across Wales. Experience of reducing financial barriers to placement participation and working within Welsh NHS education arrangements would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement suits organisations able to combine education-sector knowledge with robust funding administration, stakeholder coordination, financial controls and student-facing support.
