Summary of the contracting process

Digital Health & Care Wales (DHCW), located in Cardiff, is advancing its procurement process by initiating a direct award for Figma Inc licences, focusing on the IT services category. This procurement aims to enhance user interface and user experience design workflows within multidisciplinary teams. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with key dates including an award notice published on 17th February 2026 and a contract commencement on 6th March 2026. The procurement utilises Welsh devolved regulations and offers an option to extend the contract duration, facilitating the dynamic needs of design iterations and stakeholder engagements.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud-based design services and seamless collaboration technologies, as DHCW seeks to streamline its design cycle. While Figma Inc has been directly awarded the contract due to technical reasons, other businesses in the design tool market can explore indirect partnerships or support roles. Firms providing complementary IT services, such as consulting and software development, can leverage this contract to offer auxiliary services that aid in error mitigation and efficiency improvements across design platforms. Overall, the procurement reflects a substantial opportunity for design-focused enterprises seeking to engage with central government initiatives.
