Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by the Velindre University NHS Trust, is planning a procurement related to the health industry. The upcoming tender, titled "RESTORING RAPID ACCESS: FAST TRACK MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT ACROSS THE VALE," is situated in Cardiff, within the UK Region. As of 1st December 2025, the procurement is at the planning stage, with a future notice date set for 12th December 2025.
This anticipated contract aims to support the Central, Western, and Eastern Vale clusters of Cardiff and Vale University Health Board in reinstating a fast-track mental health assessment pathway to aid urgent cases efficiently. For businesses, particularly those involved in healthcare services, this tender represents a significant opportunity for growth by delivering critical mental health services. Companies equipped to handle rapid turnaround mental health assessments and provide holistic care through social prescribing are well-suited to compete for this contract.
The project requires service providers to perform assessments within 24 hours, manage up to 87 referrals per month, and integrate seamlessly with existing systems. With a contract value of £91,040, this two-year service plan is a notable chance for providers seeking to expand their portfolio in public health services.
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board intends to procure a service to provide rapid mental health assessment and short-term support for patients across the Central, Western, and Eastern Vale clusters for a period of two years. The service will deliver urgent assessments within 24 hours of referral, offer up to 6-8 one-to-one sessions per patient, and integrate social prescribing to support holistic care. It will handle up to 87 referrals per month (approximately 1,041 patients annually), using existing referral mechanisms to maintain continuity and reduce pressure on primary care. Performance will be monitored through quarterly reporting on referral volumes, timeliness, DNA rates, and social prescribing outcomes, with a target of 95% of assessments completed within 24 hours. The aim is to provide timely, cost-effective mental health support in the community, prevent escalation of need, and improve patient outcomes.
