How to Read This Tender
- 1This is an 'intention to award' notice, not an open tender — it tells you a decision has been made to use an existing framework provider rather than run a new competition. As a small business, you'd need to already be on the framework to bid.
- 2Lot 8 is the specific category within the framework for this type of placement; check the full framework agreement document to understand what qualifications and services Lot 8 providers must offer.
- 3CAARE criteria and 'QQQ' (Quality and Qualifications) are specific assessment standards used in Wales mental health commissioning — you'll need to understand these if considering framework applications in future.
- 4The contract value shown is nominal/placeholder because the actual cost depends on patient need and placement length, which are 'undetermined' — real costs will be based on observation hours and care packages delivered.
- 5PSR Wales Regulations 2025 and 'sensitive commercial information' clauses mean some contract details won't be published — focus your due diligence on the framework agreement itself rather than expecting full transparency here.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not already on this framework, you've missed this placement, but framework agreements are published — check if you're eligible to apply to Lot 8 for future calls-off. Framework membership is the entry ticket for NHS Wales mental health work.
- Costs for these placements are typically tied to observation hours and care intensity ratings — when bidding on frameworks, build flexible pricing models that can scale with patient needs rather than fixed-price contracts.
- This is a single-patient placement, but framework providers often accumulate multiple placements over time from the same health board — building a good track record with ABUHB on one placement can lead to repeat business, so focus on quality delivery and relationship-building.
