Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the procurement process for the extension of the "Inspection and Audit Application Tool" contract, classified under industry-specific software development services (CPV code: 72212100). This procurement, targeted towards services, involves a contract extension with Tendable, facilitated via the SBS framework (reference: SBS/19/AB/WAB/9411). The initiation to extend part of the original 24-month term by 12 months ensures uninterrupted audit and inspection functionalities across the University Health Board. This extension prevents administrative delays and maintains high clinical standards. The contract, valued at £125,100, was signed on 24 September 2024, with implementation locations across UK regions, particularly in Cardiff.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in healthcare software development, particularly those specialising in audit and inspection tools. Companies that can offer robust, real-time mobile applications for healthcare environments could find this sector rewarding. Although the initial extension has been awarded to Tendable, it underscores the ongoing need for reliable, innovative solutions within the NHS framework. Businesses adept in creating cloud-based solutions, improving administrative efficiency, and enhancing clinical performance tracking will be well-positioned to compete for similar future opportunities in the public health sector.

Notice Title

Inspection and Audit Application Tool

Notice Description

The current Audit and Inspection platform, hosted by Tendable, is a mobile application that is utilised across the University Health Board by hundreds of staff. Tendable is a cloud based, real time auditing and inspection tool. The system eliminates administration by transporting inspection results directly into IOS/Android devices, providing automated reporting. This greatly reduces any unnecessary time spent on administration, freeing up vital clinical time, whilst also tracking improvements in performance at all levels. A 24 month extension period was included in the original contract. This Contract Award Notice is in relation to the first 12 months extension of the available 24 months being undertaken as required.
