Prevention and Early Years Schemes

The procurement process facilitated by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, involves the Prevention and Early Years Schemes. This initiative focuses on addressing health inequalities and supporting long-term wellbeing in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. As of 2025, it has reached the award stage, with contracts signed on 27th October 2025, and services commencing from 1st November 2025 through to 31st March 2026.

The method employed was direct procurement, below threshold without competition, involving industry categories related to health services and social work. Key locations include Cardiff and Barry, with active contracts involving major stakeholders such as Cardiff Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in health services and community programme sectors, especially those with expertise in early intervention and community-driven initiatives.

With contracts valued at approximately £109,800 collectively, service providers focused on preventative healthcare, preschool education services, and community engagement will find it beneficial to engage. Large-scale enterprises familiar with delivering health-related services and interventions under public sector frameworks, particularly those compliant with Welsh devolved regulations, are well-positioned to take part in such initiatives for business growth and sector influence.
