While survival rates continue to improve, many people experience a significant reduction in support once they leave hospital at a stage when rehabilitation remains critical to recovery and long-term independence. Around 45% of stroke survivors report feeling abandoned following discharge because they do not receive the support they need to recover well. The impact extends far beyond the individual. Variations in access to rehabilitation, follow-up support and community services can lead to poorer outcomes, increased carer burden, avoidable demand on health and care services, and significant societal and economic costs. Stroke currently costs NHS Wales approximately £220 million per year and the wider Welsh economy approximately £1.63 billion annually. Without intervention, these costs are expected to increase significantly. The challenge has been developed following extensive investigation across Wales involving clinicians, health boards, national leaders, stroke survivors, carers and the Stroke Association. This work has helped define the challenge, identify unmet needs, understand existing service variation and explore the current market landscape. The conclusion is clear: Wales requires innovative, scalable approaches that can strengthen recovery, improve experience, reduce feelings of abandonment and support more equitable outcomes beyond hospital discharge. The challenge aligns with the Welsh Government Quality Statement for Stroke, which places renewed emphasis on rehabilitation, recovery, person-centred care and ensuring that stroke survivors do not feel abandoned during their recovery journey. The Challenge We are seeking innovative solutions that can improve rehabilitation, recovery and long-term support for stroke survivors. Access to rehabilitation and follow-up support varies across Wales. As a result, outcomes can depend too heavily on where a person lives rather than on their clinical need. This challenge seeks innovative approaches that can improve equity of access and help ensure people can receive high-quality rehabilitation and recovery support regardless of geography, including those living in rural, remote, underserved and seldom heard communities across Wales. The challenge is outcome-focused and does not prescribe a specific technology, product type or delivery model. Applicants are encouraged to propose the approach they believe will best address the challenge and demonstrate how their solution could be adapted, developed or enhanced to meet the needs of NHS Wales and stroke survivors. We are not seeking to specify a single solution in advance. The purpose of this challenge is to support the development, demonstration and evaluation of innovative approaches that can improve recovery, reduce feelings of abandonment and create foundations for sustainable improvement across Wales. Particular consideration should be given t... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/contracts-for-innovation-cymru-ending-abandonment-after-stroke-ocds-h6vhtk-07775a) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 33000000, 48000000, 73000000, 79310000, 85000000, 98000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKL - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £300,000 - **Contract Period:** 16/11/2026 to 31/03/2027 ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F089556-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-09-22T10:56:52.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-28T14:56:44.644Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-07775a
