What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThis procurement exercise is being conducted on behalf of the Welsh Ministers (hereinafter referred to the “The Client”) to establish a contract for Health and Care Research Wales Scheme Management. The purpose of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is to provide Bidders with sufficient information to enable them to compile a comprehensive bid that meets the requirements of the procurement for the delivery of the Services set out in the Specification at Section 2 of this ITT.
The Specification sets out the services required for a five-year (with two-year extension option) contract to administer a range of Health and Care Research Wales project funding schemes on behalf of the Client. Information on Health and Care Research Wales can be found here: Waleshealthandcareresearchwales.org.
The Client aims to award a five-year contract (with the option of a two-year extension), commencing on 1 July 2023.
The aim of the contract is the administration of a single, integrated Research Funding Scheme, with two researcher-led call arms and a new commissioned arm, and two application, assessment and award points each contract year.
In addition, bidders are invited to provide costs for additional ad hoc commissioned calls that may be run on a ‘call-off’ basis. The successful bidder will also be required to administer the grant management of live awards for the duration of the contract.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 70

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
