National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services

The procurement process for the "National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services" has been awarded under the oversight of NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. This contract, a part of the health and social work services sector, focuses on service provision in Cardiff, UKL. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and on 27th March 2025, a contract valued at £283,148.75 was signed with Cygnet Health Care Limited.

This award was preceded by a tender stage, under legal basis regulation 32014L0024, ultimately emerging as a call-off contract from Lot 21 of the framework agreement. This tender demonstrates substantial business growth opportunities for entities specialising in health and social work services, especially those capable of meeting rigorous quality audits as outlined in the award criteria. Large-scale providers with robust offerings in Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services are particularly well-positioned to benefit from such frameworks.

The opening provided through a national collaborative framework suggests ample room for expanding service portfolios in partnership with established NHS boards, fostering regional healthcare service enhancement. While only one bid was submitted electronically under this specific framework instance, this highlights an opportunity for competitive engagement in similar future tenders.
