Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, is overseeing a procurement process titled "Membership GS1" within the goods category. This procurement focuses on renewing GS1 membership, specifically targeting inventory management software packages. The process is conducted under Welsh devolved regulations and is a direct procurement method, which means it is below threshold and conducted without competition. Situated in Cardiff, the buyer organisation issued the award notice with key dates including an award update on 3rd December 2025, with the initial tender notice published on 2nd December 2025. The contract period will span from 5th December 2025 to 30th November 2029.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in inventory management solutions, particularly those that can provide effective software packages supporting GS1 standards. Companies operating in the software industry, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, could greatly benefit from engaging with this procurement process to enhance their visibility and establish a partnership with a reputable public authority like NHS Wales. As the procurement method is direct and below threshold, it presents an uncomplicated pathway, albeit without open competition, providing an easier entry point for businesses already familiar with GS1 standards and services.
