The procurement process involves the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, which has completed the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services. This contract is classified under health and social work services, providing a call-off placement with Cygnet Behavioural Health Limited under Lot 12. The process was carried out using an open procedure, and the contract stage is currently at the award stage, with the agreement signed on 18th March 2025 for a value of £346,742.70.

The framework encompasses the delivery region within the UK, particularly focusing on the area of Merthyr Tydfil and Cardiff. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly for large-scale providers like Cygnet Mids & Wales, who successfully secured the placement. It is ideal for established providers with the capability to meet rigorous quality audit standards and cater to mental health and learning disabilities hospital services.

This procurement process may encourage growth for entities seeking to collaborate with public health boards and expand their service offerings within the UK healthcare sector. Companies with robust infrastructures and the ability to provide specialised hospital services would be well-positioned to compete for similar future tenders.
