National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services

The procurement process for the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services has been completed under an open procedure. The buyer, NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, coordinated this contract, executing a placement between Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board in Cardiff (region UKL) and Cygnet Health Care Limited. This process falls under the services category, specifically focused on health and social work services, with framework provisions effective from 27th April 2025.

The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), and the legal basis followed was in accordance with directive 32014L0024. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the health sector, particularly those specialising in adult mental health and learning disabilities services. Although the placement was arranged as a call-off contract under Lot 21, the emphasis on quality over price might appeal to large-scale healthcare providers that can guarantee audited quality standards.

Such contracts are advantageous for businesses aiming to expand their operations within the UK healthcare system, particularly for organisations based or operating within Cardiff, thereby enabling growth through strategic partnerships and stable, long-term supply agreements.
