What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is acting on behalf of Hywel Dda University Health Board and Swansea Bay University Health Board, who together form a consortium for the procurement of neuro-disability therapy services for children and young people aged from birth to 19 years.
This notice constitutes an Intention to Award Notice and confirms the Commissioner’s intention to award a contract following the application of Direct Award Process 2 under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations.

The proposed contractual arrangements do not represent a considerable change to the existing service, and the Commissioner is satisfied that the current provider is delivering the contract to an acceptable standard and is likely to meet the requirements of the proposed contract.
Publication of this Intention to Award Notice commences the standstill period in accordance with the applicable regulations. The standstill period will end on the 19th June 2026. No contract will be entered into before the conclusion of the standstill period.
The services are intended to be provided from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with the option to extend for two further 12-month periods.

The contract was awarded on 29 June 2026. The services will be provided from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with options to extend in 2 x 12 month intervals, 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2028 and 1 July 2028 to 30 June 2029.
