This tender presents a significant opportunity for business growth, predominantly targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the emphasis on continuity with an existing provider.

The proposed contract does not have a considerable change.

Aneurin Bevan Health Board are not required to follow Direct Award Process 1 to award the contract; The term of the existing contract is due to expire, and the Aneurin Bevan Health Board proposes that this new contract will replace that existing contract at the end of its term; The proposed contracting arrangements are not a considerable change; There is an existing provider for the health services and their contract is coming to an end. The existing supplier was required to meet a minimum score of 10 for the response to each section that formed the Key Criteria for this Provider Selection Process (PSR) for Wales, Direct Award Process 2 for both Existing Contract and New Contract- failure to meet a minimum score of 10 for any of the award questions would resulted in the supplier submission being excluded from any further consideration in the evaluation process.
