## Summary

On the 14th of April 2025, NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, commenced the planning stage for the renewal of the National Framework for Adults (18+) in Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Care Homes & Care Homes with Nursing for the National Health Service in Wales. The contracting authority is looking to collaborate with multiple University Health Boards, including Aneurin Bevan, Betsi Cadwaladr, Cardiff and Vale, and others within the UKL region. A crucial event in this process is scheduled for Wednesday, 30th April 2025, which is a virtual pre-market engagement event aimed at informing and gathering insights from potential providers. Businesses interested in attending must submit requests for Welsh language tender documentation by 25th April 2025. The actual procurement exercise, if it proceeds, will be carried out later and advertised appropriately.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in mental health and learning disabilities services. By engaging in the pre-market event, businesses can gain valuable insights and influence the shaping of the procurement framework. This initiative is well-suited for experienced care home operators with capabilities in providing high-quality nursing services, ensuring compliance with UK regulations. The engagement also opens doors for long-term, stable contracts with the NHS, which can drive business expansion and strengthen market presence in the healthcare industry.
