II.2.4) Description of the procurement

This notice is an intention to award a contract based on a framework agreement with a competition. Under the National Collaborative Framework for Adult Mental Health, Learning Disabilities, and CAMHS Hospital Services, a placement is proposed between Betsi Cadwaladr University Local Health Board and Priory Healthcare Limited. This proposed placement is initiated under Lot 11 (Locked Rehabilitation (Controlled Egress) Mental Health – Male) 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 Commissioners, 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;

1. Quality - Assurance rating, in the order of the Hospital / Unit with the highest Quality Assurance Rating first within the applicable Framework lot.

2. Value - Framework Ranking by price – in the order of lowest composite price Hospital / Unit within the applicable framework lot.

3. Collaboration and service sustainability - Exact clinical, geographical and social needs of the Patient, including patient outcomes.

4. Improving access and reducing health inequalities - Availability of beds in Hospital / Units within the required Framework Lot and within pre-agreed radius significant to a patient.

5. Social Responsibility - review of a providers community benefits proposal.

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.
