Description

Many of the donations and legacies received by the Charity cannot be spent right away as they need to be accumulated in order to fund the most pressing and relevant items to improve patient care. As a result, the charity invests these contributions in order to earn income and protect their ‘real-worth’. An investment manager is required to manage these investments, in order to maximise the return to the Charity, whilst minimising the risk. The Charity has adopted an ethical framework for investments with underlying principles supporting an ethical component of the overall investment strategy. This gives direction to the investment manager to develop a suitable investment strategy which is consistent with these ethical principles whilst affording sufficient flexibility to provide the best balance of risk and reward for the Charity. The current Ethical Investments Policy states: It is recommended that there is negative exclusion of investment in companies manufacturing and distributing: - Alcoholic products; - Tobacco products; and - Any products which may be considered in conflict with the Health Board’s activities. Investment is not permitted in companies which have a poor record in human rights and child exploitation or which derive their profits from countries with poor human rights records. Please see Information for Bidders document on the Bravo Solutions portal for further details. Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board recognises the importance of the Welsh language to the communities it serves. Consequently, responses to an invitation to quote or tender will be accepted in Welsh as well as English. However, please note that tender responses submitted only in Welsh will be translated by the Trust into English before consideration. Those involved in translating the document will be barred from taking decisions on awarding tenders. The tender will be awarded based on 40% cost & 60% quality as detailed in the ITT document. Please note that the tender closing date is 14/07/2025 at midday and any late submissions will not be considered.
