The procurement falls under the health and social work services category, and the provider is Elysium Healthcare Limited.
The process, guided by the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025, has reached the award stage, with a critical deadline for representations being 28th July 2025. This procurement uses an open procedure and is influenced by the Provider Selection Regime of Wales. This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses within the health and social care sector, especially those already participating in relevant framework agreements.
Elysium Healthcare Limited, a current framework provider, demonstrates the appeal for large organisations capable of offering specialised mental health services. Businesses positioned to deliver quality and value within the specified framework can leverage this and similar contracts for strategic growth. Companies focusing on improving health access, reducing inequalities, and maintaining collaboration in service delivery may find competitive advantages here, as the award criteria heavily focus on quality assurance, value, and social responsibility.
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 24 (PICU Mental Health - Female ) 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.
