This specific procurement is categorised under health and social work services and involves a proposed placement between Powys Teaching Local Health Board and Elysium Healthcare Limited. The procurement follows the open procedure method and pertains to services within Wales (UKL region).
The process is currently at the award stage, marked by an intention to award notice published on 17th July 2025, initiating the standstill period which ends on 28th July 2025. The procurement aligns with the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, thus not subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare provision, particularly those specialising in mental health and rehabilitation services.
Elysium Healthcare Limited, the supplier involved, exemplifies the type of large-scale provider suitable for such frameworks. The contract under Lot 11 for Locked Rehabilitation (Controlled Egress) Mental Health - Male suggests potential business growth opportunities for healthcare service providers with expertise in mental health care and patient management. Organisations focusing on delivering high-quality, sustainable, and socially responsible healthcare solutions will be well-placed to benefit from opportunities emerging from this framework, especially those capable of addressing health inequalities and enhancing access through tailored care packages.
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 11 (Locked Rehabilitation (Controlled Egress) 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.
