Tender description

The Welsh Language Measure 2011 makes Welsh an official language in Wales. This means it must be treated no less favourably than English. The Standards are a set of legally binding requirements that aim to improve the bilingual service that the people of Wales can expect to receive from a number of public and statutory bodies. Therefore, CAVUHB must ensure these standards are complied with in order to offer a bilingual service for both patients and staff, this service allows translation to be completed on a familiar system. Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAVUHB) has a requirement for Welsh translation services. The service is used across the Health Board for any Welsh translation requirements proposed. The documents which require translating are submitted via the Bilingual Cardiff (Cardiff County Council) website and a date for the work to be completed is stated.

Frameworks cover capital equipment, pharmaceuticals, clinical supplies, food, utilities, maintenance, IT and the commissioning of healthcare services. Local procurement teams work with each health board alongside sourcing, supply chain and accounts payable teams. Where appropriate, tenders are split into smaller lots so SMEs can bid.

UK health spending has nearly quadrupled to £241.8bn in 2024/25, £20bn up on the year before. £140.6bn of that went to procurement, the biggest sector of UK public spending and the fastest-growing.
