National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services

The National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services, led by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services (hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust), is a significant procurement process focusing on healthcare services in Wales. Located in Cardiff, the buying organisation is responsible for awarding contracts under a framework agreement subject to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, which bypasses the usual Public Contracts Regulations. The framework, classified under CPV code 85000000, involves call-offs for various mental health services and has been recently awarded to Elysium Healthcare Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Borehamwood.

The contract, signed on 28th July 2025, covers a period of 360 days, marking an important milestone in providing specialised healthcare services in the region UKL. This tender offers considerable opportunities for business growth, especially for companies specialised in healthcare services looking to participate in future framework agreements. Businesses focusing on high-quality service delivery, competitive pricing, and strong collaboration and sustainability practices would be well-suited to compete in such tenders.

The framework process entails open procurement methods and prioritises entities that can provide value for money while meeting clinical, geographical, and social patient needs. Although the current award has been made to an established provider on the framework, the landscape remains open for qualified entrants who can demonstrate superior service enhancements and fulfil the social responsibility expectations delineated by the PSR Wales regulations.
