Summary of the contracting process

Digital Health & Care Wales, located in Cardiff, is overseeing a procurement process titled "STAHL Online" within the industry category of IT services, specifically consulting, software development, Internet, and support. This direct procurement, classified as below threshold without competition, ensures the provision of essential neuropsychopharmacology learning resources to NHS Wales. With the current contract expiring on 31st December 2025, procurement has entered the award stage with a pending status and a key future milestone being the signature date scheduled for 15th December 2025. The related contract is projected to commence on 1st January 2026, extending until 31st December 2027, with a possible renewal option for 2028.

This tender represents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the IT services sector. The procurement's direct method offers a streamlined opportunity for vendors specialising in digital educational resources to collaborate closely with NHS Wales, thereby enhancing their portfolio in the public health domain. Businesses capable of providing reliable and secure online platforms for neuropsychopharmacology education are particularly well-suited to compete, given the tender's focus on maintaining and expanding access to up-to-date learning materials.

Notice Information

Notice Title

STAHL Online

Notice Description

Procuring STAHL Online is essential to ensuring continuous and secure access to NHS Wales re-resources, which have been in place since 2023. The current STAHL Online contract is due to expire on 31st December 2025. Maintaining this resource is justified, as it ensures NHS Wales users retain direct online access to reliable, up-to-date neuropsychopharmacology learning and teaching materials. These materials have been recommended by health and care professionals, have demonstrated high levels of usage, and are approved to support mental health professionals working in the field of neuropsychopharmacology. Without continued access to this resource, NHS colleagues would be reliant upon their physical library services to purchase the latest printed materials. This would place additional strain on e-library services and budgets, and potentially limit timely access to essential, evidence-based information.
