Published requirement description

The Mental Health Clinical Board has a requirement to extend the existing contract for the BME Mental Health Third Sector Service. The Contract expiry is due on 31st March 2021 in line with the original contract award against Tender 16/2213. As a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Mental Health Clinical Board have had to realign priorities and respond to the situation and therefore have not had the time that was originally planned to work on the renewal Tender and therefore seek an annual extension.

Why no open competition: The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
Published justification: The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board wish to extend the existing contract with Diverse Cymru for a 12 month period. The Health Board were not in a position to spend the time originally planned to re-tender the requirements due to the unexpected COVID 19 Pandemic and priorities within the Clinical Board having to change to respond appropriately to the situation. Furthermore by extending the 3rd Sector Contracts for an additional year will help to enable them to recover from Covid which in turn will help in re-stabilising their organisations. Work is now underway to prepare the necessary specification documents to allow a full Tender exercise to renew these contracts in line with this VEAT expiry. The extension will provide seamless service continuation.
