This contract, awarded as part of an open procedure under the General public services and Health category, involves a placement in Cardiff, UK. The framework agreement was arranged between Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board and Integra Community Living Options Limited, with the contract signed on 11 March 2025, valued at £108,961.32 GBP.

The procurement stage is identified as an award, with the legal proceedings conducted by the High Court. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for service providers in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in mental health and learning disabilities care homes and nursing services.

Tailored solutions coupled with expertise in adult care services could attract similar future opportunities in the sector.
