National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, concluded a tender for hospital services under the National Collaborative Framework covering Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS. The award, completed as part of LOT 22 and valued at £296,595.35, involves Cygnet Health Care Limited supplying services to Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board. The procurement process was conducted via an open procedure and reached the Award stage on 19 June 2025, with the contract being signed on 12 April 2025.

The procurement primarily caters to the health industry and is geographically centered in Cardiff, UK. The procurement details are outlined under CPV code 85000000 and fall within the legal framework established by directive 32014L0024. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses operating in the healthcare sector, particularly those providing mental health, learning disabilities, and CAMHS hospital services.

Although the contract was awarded to a large-scale supplier, Cygnet Health Care Limited, smaller healthcare providers specialising in these services could benefit from exploring similar frameworks or future placements under the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership. Opportunities for collaboration or subcontracting with larger entities involved in the framework could also open avenues for smaller specialised healthcare providers wishing to expand their operations within the UKL region or partner with public health bodies like Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board.
