National Collaborative Framework for Adult MH LD & CAMHS Hospital Services

On 29th July 2025, the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, updated the contract under the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health (MH), Learning Disabilities (LD), and CAMHS Hospital Services. Located in Cardiff, this procurement falls within the services category, specifically under the CPV code 85000000. The framework agreement was awarded through a Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) without the application of Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Rushcliffe Independent Hospital, a supplier based in Port Talbot, has been confirmed as the provider, following a competitive call-off from this framework, which is a part of the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. The contract duration is set for 360 days starting on 28th July 2025. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those with a strategic interest in specialised hospital services for mental health, learning disabilities, and child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS).

Large organisations, like Rushcliffe Independent Hospital, that can demonstrate high-quality assurance and competitive pricing, as well as effective collaboration and social responsibility, are well-suited to compete within such frameworks. Businesses capable of enhancing patient outcomes, improving access, and addressing health inequalities will find growth prospects in engaging with public health bodies like NHS Wales. Furthermore, aligning with the goals of the PSR Wales can aid organisations in establishing enduring partnerships and securing substantial placements within the national healthcare framework.
