Their facilitation of the Welsh CEO Forum and HEIW leadership workshops has further strengthened leadership alignment and strategic coherence across the system. With a proven track record in leading system-level transformation in regions such as Dorset, South Yorkshire, and North Central London, NAPC brings a unique capability to convene senior stakeholders, build consensus, and drive change.

Limited engagement or conflicting priorities among stakeholders could hinder progress and dilute the impact of facilitated sessions.\nPace of Delivery:\nThe requirement to deliver strategic outcomes at pace introduces a risk of compressed timelines, which may affect the depth and quality of facilitation, particularly if unforeseen delays or scheduling conflicts arise.\nEvolving Strategic Priorities:\nNHS Wales' strategic direction may evolve during the contract period. If priorities shift significantly, there is a risk that the scope of facilitation may no longer fully align with emerging needs, requiring contract modification or additional support.\nContract Modification Constraints: \nOnly risks explicitly described in this notice can be used to justify future contract modifications.
