The framework is under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, covering services throughout the UK and specific regional needs in Wales. The procurement process, initiated without prior publication of a call for competition due to specific regulatory provisions, is in the award update stage as of 5th August 2025. This framework agreement includes opportunities for providers to join or amend pricing at bi-annual intervals from July 2025 through October 2029, highlighting a dynamic procurement environment accommodating evolving healthcare needs. This framework offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare services, especially those specialising in adult mental health and child and adolescent mental health services. Large-scale providers like OAK TREE FOREST LIMITED, which demonstrate strong technical capabilities, financial robustness, and alignment with social responsibility and quality standards, are well-suited to compete. With periodic refresh opportunities, this framework encourages competitive pricing and the entry of new providers, fostering a competitive landscape that allows businesses to expand their reach in the public health sector in both general and specific healthcare provisions. As the framework ensures collaboration and service sustainability while improving access and reducing health inequalities, businesses focusing on these areas will find ample growth potential. ## Notice This notice is an intention to conclude a framework agreement using the competitive process for the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services, Velindre University NHS Trust--acting on behalf of all Health Boards and Trusts in Wales to Oak Tree Forest Limited for the provision of services under Lot 21 (Acute Mental Health - Male), Lot 22 (Acute Mental Health- Female), Lot 27 (Tier Child and Adolescent acute Mental Health - Male) and Lot 28( Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Acute Mental Health - Female) of the Framework Agreement.
