How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'call-off' contract — it's not a new tender. ABUHB is formally notifying that they're using an existing framework agreement to place one patient. You cannot bid unless you're already on the framework.
- 2The 'nominal value' mention is important: the real contract value isn't published for commercial sensitivity reasons, but a placeholder figure has been used to meet publication rules. The actual cost will depend on how long the patient needs care.
- 3PSR Wales Regulations 2025 is the legal framework governing this — it's specific to Wales health procurement and supersedes previous rules. Check you understand what 'Provider Selection Regime' means for your compliance obligations.
- 4The CAARE criteria and Lot CS6 are technical references — you need the full framework agreement documents to understand what these mean for service delivery expectations and pricing.
- 5This notice flags that this is 'not yet formally awarded' — it's an intention to award, which means there may be a standstill period or formal objection window before it's final.
Tips for Small Businesses
- If you're not on the framework already, you cannot bid for this specific placement. However, watch for the next framework procurement round and apply then — once approved, you'll automatically be eligible for call-offs like this without competitive tendering each time.
- The undefined length of stay is both opportunity and risk: it could be a short-term 6-week placement or a long-term placement of months. Build your pricing and resource planning to handle variable occupancy, or negotiate regular review points to adjust capacity.
- Consider the 'close to family and clinical team' requirement as a key selling point if you have placements in areas with good transport links or near major hospitals — location can be a differentiator in selection.
