## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract for the "Service User and Carer Involvement Service" in the healthcare services category. This procurement aims to reinforce the representation of service users and carers within the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's Mental Health Clinical Board through co-production, training, and involvement in service planning. The procurement process was executed under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) regulations, not the typical Public Contracts Regulations. The contract, valued at £170,845.50, commences on 1st April 2026 and is set to continue until 31st March 2029, with potential annual extensions until 2031. The procurement method was limited, bypassing a prior competitive call, with Adferiad Recovery, a large supplier, being the successful candidate.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for entities specialising in healthcare, mental health support services, and community engagement initiatives in the UK. Businesses with expertise in service user involvement, training provision, and recovery-focused care could find this contract aligns well with their capabilities. The collaboration with the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board requires familiarity with local community dynamics, experience in delivering person-centred mental health care, and compliance with regulatory standards such as Welsh language initiatives. Given the specialised nature of the service, organisations capable of providing continuity, governance, and quality engagement practice are positioned well to contribute effectively and grow through this contract.

## Notice

The Mental Health Clinical Board (MHCB) in Cardiff and Vale University Health Board plans to recommission the Service User and Carer Representation Service, which strengthens the voice of people with lived experience and their carers through co-production, training, and involvement in service planning, as well as the Reward and Recognition element.
