Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process involves the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, which is planning to award a contract under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. This notice pertains to a proposed placement for psychiatric hospital services, titled "SL - Cygnet," under the National Collaborative framework for adult mental health. The project is located in Wales with services to be delivered in Birmingham, UK, and is classified in the industry category for psychiatric hospital services.
The procurement is currently in the award phase with the decision made on 26th November 2025. The contract covers a period of 360 days and follows a framework agreement, eliminating the need for competitive bidding. Notably, the placement falls under lot 12 of the framework, deemed necessary by a clinical Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) for the patient's requirements.
This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in psychiatric and mental health services. The partnership with Cygnet Health Care Limited indicates a robust framework agreement that facilitates businesses in growing their credentials and expanding their services to out-of-area needs, such as those requiring locked rehabilitation. SMEs with experience in collaborative healthcare solutions and enhanced packages of care could particularly benefit from participating in these types of framework agreements.
Moreover, the strategic decision-making involved in selecting a provider based on geographical and service compatibility suggests suitable prospects for businesses skilled in tailoring their services to meet patient-centred care needs.
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.
