National Collaborative Framework for the provision of services for Adult Mental Health Learning Disability / Child and Adolescent Mental Health Hospitals Call Off CCAPS 5286

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has awarded a contract under the Provider Selection Regime Wales Regulations 2025. This involves a National Collaborative Framework for the provision of services targeting Adult Mental Health, Learning Disability, and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Hospitals, specifically a call-off contract titled "CCAPS 5286." The procurement, classified under industry category 85000000 (Health and Social Work Services), is specifically targeting the UKL region and followed an open procedure.

The contract was formally signed on 24th February 2025, marking a significant stage in the procurement process where St Andrew's Healthcare was chosen as the supplier. This award does not fall under the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to the framework's alignment with PSR Wales. This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses operating within the health services sector, particularly those providing specialised mental health services.

Companies adept at delivering high-quality care and fulfilling complex care requirements, particularly within mental health and disability settings, would find this framework agreement advantageous. It allows qualified providers such as large healthcare facilities, and potentially SMEs capable of handling specific service requirements, to participate under a structured framework, ensuring a competitive atmosphere that could lead to further contracts within Wales's comprehensive healthcare system. Collaboration and innovative service delivery models could leverage this opportunity to enhance accessibility and efficiency in mental health services.
