Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process titled "CLI-VEA-57525 BREAST CANCER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" within the software package and information systems industry category. The contract, which focuses on utilising AI to support pathologists in assessing and quantifying tumour markers in breast cancer biopsies, was awarded on 16 October 2024. The procurement was conducted using a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by its classification as outside the scope of the directive. The contract, valued at £163,447.96, has been awarded to Ibex Medical Analytics Ltd and will be implemented in the UKL region. This initiative follows a successful pilot in BCUHB and is intended for rollout to all Health Boards in Wales with additional funding from the Welsh Government.

This procurement creates significant opportunities for businesses specialised in artificial intelligence and medical software development. Companies with expertise in developing AI solutions for the healthcare sector, particularly those geared towards pathology and cancer diagnostics, would find this contract particularly well-suited to their capabilities. As the project involves expanding an existing infrastructure within NHS Wales, businesses that are agile and can integrate with existing systems swiftly will have a competitive edge. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the tech and healthcare industries can benefit from this opportunity to collaborate on cutting-edge AI applications, promoting advancements in medical diagnostics and patient care.
