National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the award stage of a contract under the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services. This contract, structured as a call-off under LOT 10, involves a placement between Hywel Dda University Local Health Board and Pinetree Care Services Ltd, a large supplier. The procurement process followed the open procedure methodology, focusing on services within the health industry category.

The award of the contract, which amounts to £353,064.50, was executed on 29th April 2025, and the associated services will be rendered in the UK, primarily within the region of UKL. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those offering mental health and learning disabilities care. Large enterprises similar to Pinetree Care Services Ltd are poised to benefit, given the scale and complexity of the services required.

Although there was only one bid submitted, indicating high specialisation, businesses capable of meeting stringent quality standards while maintaining competitive pricing can find substantial growth potential through similar frameworks facilitated by public sector cooperation, like those managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership.
