Summary, notice description and lot information

Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is conducted by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, facilitated by the Velindre University NHS Trust. It concerns a 'Refresh of Framework for Adults 18+ in MH&LD Care Homes/and with Nursing'. This initiative, part of a collaborative effort amongst NHS and local authorities in Wales, is in the tender stage, with submissions due by 25th August 2025.

The main category is health and social work services, with the scope covering various Care Homes and Care Homes with Nursing across Wales, designated as UKL. The open procedure framework allows for electronic submissions via the eTenderwales platform. Business opportunities abound as the framework is open to independent providers in the health services industry.

Licensed care home operators and providers with expertise in mental health and learning disabilities can benefit by securing a place within this framework. Suppliers can revise their service offerings or apply to include new care settings in their provision. This refresh also welcomes new entrants provided they meet the NHS Wales' minimum selection criteria.

The focus on quality audits in the award criteria highlights the value placed on maintaining high standards, potentially favouring entities that excel in service quality.

Notice Description

This exercise is being conducted as an NHS and Local Authorities in Wales collaborative initiative with Velindre University NHS Trust (the "Trust") acting as the procurement agent through NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Procurement Services on behalf of all Local Health Boards and Local Authorities in Wales. As part of the refresh exercise, Service Providers are invited, subject to the terms of this letter and the details contained within the attached documents, to: a. revise their prices contained within the Framework Agreement. Prices can remain the same, be adjusted downwards only b. apply to add new Care Home/Settings to its existing service provision for any of the available Lots (Annex 1 document to be completed); and/or c. revise its service provision (i) within a current Care Home/Care Setting and Lot to instead provide the services from a current Care Home/Care Setting under a different Lot to the one under which it is currently providing the services and/or (ii) to remove Care Homes/Care Settings from its service provision. By way of information, this exercise also allows new providers to gain entry onto the Framework Agreement (as varied), subject to satisfying the Trust's applicable minimum selection criteria.
