Abstract

Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) is seeking to appoint an experienced supplier to co-design, implement, and deliver the Graduate Programme Assessment Centre 2026 as part of the NHS Wales General Management Graduate Programme, a key priority within HEIW’s Integrated Medium Term Plan. The programme aims to develop a sustainable and inclusive pipeline of future NHS leaders to meet the evolving needs of the Welsh population and public services.

The solution must be evidence-based, fully inclusive, accessible, and compliant with equality legislation and Welsh Language Standards, ensuring fairness and transparency throughout. This procurement will support HEIW’s statutory workforce planning obligations and long-term strategy to develop leadership capacity across NHS Wales, directly contributing to national health priorities such as A Healthier Wales and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act.
