Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process, overseen by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, involves an intention to award a contract for psychiatric hospital services under the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) Regulations 2025. The title of this procurement is "SL - Cygnet," and it operates within the adult mental health services industry. The planned service location is in the Birmingham area, as specified by the clinical team's requirement for out-of-area locked rehab to serve a specific patient need.
The procurement process has reached the award stage with the awarding yet to be formally made, marking the commencement of the standstill period as of 26 November 2025. This initiative falls under Lot 12 of the National Collaborative framework agreement, procured through an open procedure. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in psychiatric hospital services, particularly those capable of providing enhanced packages of care and additional services.
The supplier is positioned in a highly-regulated framework, ensuring stringent governance and monitoring, which suits businesses experienced in working within structured healthcare environments. Cygnet Health Care Limited has been identified as the supplier, suggesting that businesses similar in scale and service scope could be competitive in this arena. The focus on adult mental health services under the All Wales Framework indicates a sustained demand in this sector, creating growth potential for providers within the healthcare and rehabilitation industries.
Under the National Collaborative framework for adult mental health, a placement is proposed between ABUHB and Cygnet, Locked Rehab. This proposed placement is being made under lot 12 of the framework agreement as a potential call-off contract. The proposed call off requirement was considered with the basic selection and key criterion as detailed below. Framework providers were evaluated by the Commissioning Team, responsible for a patient placement, under the CAARE criteria to determine (i) under which Framework Lot the Patient's care requirement falls and (ii) the number of observations hours required to meet the patients' needs by enhanced packages of care / additional services. This was assessed under the following key criterion as stated in PSR Wales Regulations 2025 and aligned within the Framework; MDT requested an out of area locked rehab due to SL having access to local substances within the locality. MDT have agreed that locked rehab in Birmingham would be a suitable option for her. Ranked 3rd on CCAPS. First choice too far (distance - over 3 hours), 2nd option too close, within out locality, 3rd option Birmingham within driveable distance and outside of locality. The length of the placement is based on patient need and therefore, is undetermined at present. The supplier is a current provider on the framework and this notice refers to a new placement. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR Wales. Additional information: Under Regulation 23(1) of the PSR, a relevant authority is not required to publish information under these Regulations if the relevant authority is satisfied that the information is sensitive commercial information and there is no overriding public interest in its being published. Due to this, please note, a nominal value has been stated to allow notice publication.
