## Summary

Velindre University NHS Trust commissioned specialist commercial advisory support for negotiations to settle final accounts. This is financial consultancy work focused on reaching agreement on final account settlements, rather than a general claims-handling service. The requirement was managed by the Trust, based in Cardiff, and delivery was in Wales. The contract was awarded to Deloitte. The work is relevant to consultancy firms with commercial advisory expertise in negotiating and resolving final account positions, particularly those able to support a public-sector NHS client. The procurement was a single requirement, not a set of separately described service packages.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Deloitte. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and is active, with a contract value of £40,000. The Trust used a direct award under the Management Consultancy Framework Four, without a prior call for competition; it stated that the contract was below the applicable threshold. The recorded award basis was cost alone, weighted at 100%. One bid was recorded. The procurement was organised as one lot, which is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. No contract period or end date is stated in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for specialist commercial advice in final account settlement negotiations. Firms seeking to compete for comparable work should be able to show practical experience negotiating final accounts and advising on commercial settlement, with the capacity to provide focused support to an NHS trust. The route used here was a direct award through the Management Consultancy Framework Four, so framework access and the ability to respond to a tightly defined advisory requirement would be relevant credentials. Cost was the sole recorded award criterion, making competitive pricing important alongside credible specialist expertise. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, showing that the requirement was delivered by a provider able to supply professional commercial advisory services at this scale.
