Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is in the process of intending to award a contract under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) framework. This notice pertains to the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services, specifically targeting a placement under Lot 11. The procurement is classified under health and social work services (CPV: 85000000), and follows an open procedure procurement method.
The contracting process is at the award stage with a related contract, although the formal award is still pending. Potential suppliers must make representations by 28th July 2025, with the contract process mainly located in Wales (UKL region). This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health services sector to engage with the NHS Wales framework and grow their presence in care services.
Specifically, businesses that provide specialising services in mental health rehabilitation and meet the criteria of quality assurance, value, collaboration, and social responsibility are well-positioned to benefit. The procurement offers avenues for collaboration between health boards and private companies like Cygnet Behavioural Health Limited, who are current providers. Businesses that emphasise enhancing health care access and reducing inequalities will find this opportunity particularly advantageous for market expansion and strategic partnerships.
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 Cygnet Behavioural Health Limited. This proposed placement is initiated under Lot 11 (Lockable Rehabilitation (Controlled Egress) - MH 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.
