Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership has completed the procurement process for the Wales National Workforce Reporting System, a software package aimed at managing primary care workforce information for reporting and analysis. Classified under the CPV code 48000000 (Software package and information systems), this procurement is vital to ensure a secure platform for GP practices to provide workforce information. The procurement method was limited, due to the immediate need created by a delay in the go-live of a new solution, which necessitated continuity of the existing service. The contract, worth £78,155 GBP, was awarded to Argyle IT Consulting Limited and was signed on 6 June 2024.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare IT solutions, particularly those with expertise in workforce management systems. SMEs and large firms in the software and information systems sector, as well as those capable of rapid deployment and robust service support, will find this procurement particularly relevant. Continuing software solutions and data migration services will be crucial, allowing businesses with experience in these areas to contribute to the seamless operation and transition to the new system, thereby securing lucrative contracts and fostering long-term relationships with public sector bodies such as NHS Wales.
