Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is initiating an intention to award a contract under the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services. The procurement, described under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services, specifically targets services within medium secure mental health facilities for males. This intention is part of a framework agreement facilitated by the Provider Selection Regime Wales and doesn't fall under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
The relevant procurement stage is the award phase, with all representations by providers required by 28th July 2025. The process involves an open procurement method and the location is in Wales with the main procuring activity occurring in the UK, specifically within the Powys region. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in health services, particularly those with expertise in secure mental health environments.
Companies like Elysium Healthcare Limited, a large-scale provider already part of the framework, are well-positioned to compete in this environment due to their established service delivery in health services. The tender is particularly suitable for experienced providers capable of meeting detailed quality and collaboration criteria, such as assurance ratings and social responsibility standards. Businesses focusing on enhancing access to healthcare and reducing health inequalities stand to benefit from engaging with this procurement, as they align with the key criterion for selection.
This notice is an intention to award a contract based on a framework agreement with a competition. Under the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services, a placement is proposed between Powys Teaching Local Health Board and Elysium Healthcare Limited. This proposed placement is initiated under Lot 3 (Medium Secure Mental Health Male) of the Framework Agreement as a potential call-off contract. The proposed call off requirement was considered with the basic selection and key criterion as detailed below. Framework providers were evaluated by Commissioners, responsible for a patient placement, under the CAARE criteria to determine (i) under which Framework Lot the Patient's care requirement falls and (ii) the number of observations hours required to meet the patients' needs by Enhanced Packages of Care / Additional Services. This was assessed under the following key criterion as stated in PSR Wales Regulations 2025 and aligned within the Framework; 1. Quality - Assurance rating, in the order of the Hospital / Unit with the highest Quality Assurance Rating first within the applicable Framework lot. 2. Value - Framework Ranking by price - in the order of lowest composite price Hospital / Unit within the applicable framework lot. 3. Collaboration and service sustainability - Exact clinical, geographical and social needs of the Patient, including patient outcomes. 4. Improving access and reducing health inequalities - Availability of beds in Hospital / Units within the required Framework Lot and within pre-agreed radius significant to a patient. 5. Social Responsibility - review of a providers community benefits proposal. The length of the placement is based on patient need and therefore, is undetermined at present. The supplier is a current provider on the framework and this notice refers to a new placement. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR Wales. Additional information: Under Regulation 23(1) of the PSR, a relevant authority is not required to publish information under these Regulations if the relevant authority is satisfied that the information is sensitive commercial information and there is no overriding public interest in its being published. Due to this, please note, a nominal value has been stated to allow notice publication.
