Provision of Womens Health Plan Network Services in Swansea

The procurement process initiated by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, involves the provision of Women's Health Plan Network Services in the Swansea area. It falls under the services category, specifically community health services, aiming to support the Welsh Government's engagement and co-production work. The tender was conducted using a limited procurement method, where a particular supplier was selected without prior publication due to technical reasons.

The contract was awarded to Swansea Council for Voluntary Service for a value of £20,418 and was signed on 1st September 2025. The procurement project is complete; its objectives included groundwork mapping and the development of a women's voices forum in underdeveloped areas of Swansea Bay. This tender presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in community health services with capabilities in engagement and stakeholder co-production work.

While it tailored the procurement to a specific economic operator, similar businesses could benefit from engaging in such projects in future tenders by demonstrating unique technical expertise. Large organisations with experience in public health initiatives may find themselves particularly suited to compete for similar health service tenders where co-production and community involvement are key components. As these services align with public health goals, businesses in this sector can leverage such opportunities to expand their influence and drive community-focused health outcomes.
