## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is planning a procurement exercise to renew the current framework agreements for Adults (18+) in Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Care Homes, including Care Homes with Nursing for the National Health Service in Wales.

The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, and significant dates include a virtual pre-market engagement event scheduled for 27th March 2026. Interested parties can submit requests for tender documents in Welsh by 16th March 2026. The procurement, classified under the health industry category, aims to cover various locations across the UKL region.

The procurement method involves a collaborative approach with several University Health Boards, elevating the potential scope for collaboration and growth across the healthcare sector in Wales. This engagement could be particularly beneficial for service providers looking to strengthen their presence in the regional healthcare market. Prospective participants are encouraged to engage in the preliminary market engagement event to explore and understand the requirements and directions before the formal procurement process commences.
