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 was managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership - Procurement Services, which is hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. This tender falls under the "Health and social work services" category and utilises an open procedure method, covering services within the UK region specified as UKL. The contract, awarded to Cygnet Health Care Limited, was signed on 4 May 2025, with a value of £296,595.35.

The process has reached the contract award stage and is active, with Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board involved in the placement under Lot 22 as part of a call-off agreement under the framework. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, specifically those with expertise in adult mental health, learning disabilities, and children's mental health services. Large healthcare providers that can offer high-quality audited services are particularly well-suited to compete, as demonstrated by the selection criteria emphasising quality over price.

The collaborative nature of the framework and the call-off structure allows for expansive business growth by establishing ongoing relationships with NHS entities, presenting a substantial market for entities capable of aligning with public health priorities and regulations.
