### Procurement Information

All Wales Intensive Learning Academy for Innovation in Health and Social Care was awarded grant funding from Welsh Government for two years on the basis of their bid proposal which was developed in partnership with Swansea University and Cardiff University (Y Lab and People Powered Results). The All Wales Intensive Learning Academy requires the provision of university accredited academic qualifications to PhD level as well as the provision of PhD students for research purposes. Y Lab (Welsh for 'The Lab') is the Public Services Innovation Lab for Wales, led by Cardiff University. Y Lab works with public services organisations in Wales to build innovation and research capacity. This is done through a number of methods, including innovation programmes and new collaborative networks which will develop and test solutions to major societal challenges in Wales. Through this collaborative approach, Y Lab will support public services in Wales to promote and exemplify public services innovation and efficiency - as well as contributing to the national and international knowledge base. Due to this, Cardiff University will be able to provide PhD students who will research the impact of the ILA on interactions between innovations and systems. Linking this innovation research provision with Cardiff University's education courses means there is a unique partnership with the Health Board for the establishment of the ILA. In addition, Cardiff University also have a partnership with People Powered Results (PPR) who will deliver a small number of modules within the programme. Based on the information outlined in the notice, the Health Board is applying a 10 day standstill period prior to awarding the contract.
