UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by the Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process for an Anaesthetics Rota System. This procurement was conducted through a direct award, leading to a contract without a competitive procedure due to intellectual property rights held by RotaMap Ltd over the CWL Rota System already embedded within the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The process falls under the services category, specifically IT services, and is governed by Welsh devolved regulations. The contract, valued at £183,599.99 gross, is set to commence on 14th April 2026 and will conclude on 13th April 2029, with potential impacts in the region of Cardiff, UK.

This procurement presents noteworthy opportunities for businesses with existing IT services, specifically those experienced in consulting, software development, and support activities. Companies that can demonstrate alignment with public authority needs, especially those with specialisation in healthcare IT systems, might find future prospects through similar direct award processes. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like RotaMap Ltd, are well-positioned to benefit from contracts of this nature, particularly when holding exclusive technology rights or established integrations with public service providers.

Notice Description

This Transparency Notice is to show the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's intent to Direct Award without competition a contract for The Anaesthetics Rota system to Rotamap Ltd.

Procurement Information

The contract is awarded without prior publication of a competitive procedure because: - Rotamap Ltd hold the intellectual rights to the CWL Rota System. - CWL Rota System is already implemented and embedded within the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. - There is currently no scope to change the system and changing the compatibility of the licences will disrupt the service within the Surgery Services Clinical Board.
