Summary of the contracting process

Digital Health and Care Wales procured a National Intelligent Integrated Audit Solution for NHS Wales. The service will monitor user access to the single patient record, national clinical applications and national repositories, covering all seven health boards and five of the six other statutory organisations or trusts in Wales. It requires authoritative processing of audit logs into dashboards showing user behaviour, enabling information governance leads to investigate activity. The solution must integrate with NHS Wales systems through APIs and direct connections where necessary, validate patient and staff identities against national systems, and provide information in real time. It must scale to support legacy connections and new requirements, and be hosted in the cloud while integrating with the Digital Health and Care Wales network. This is a specialist health-sector software and IT services requirement delivered across Wales.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected: Maxwell Stanley Consulting Ltd. The award was made on 16 July 2026 for £4.9 million excluding VAT, or £5.88 million including VAT. It used a single-lot open procedure above the relevant threshold. The enquiry deadline was 2 March 2026 and the tender submission deadline was 17 March 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was due by 27 April 2026, with the standstill period ending on 28 July 2026. The awarded contract period is 24 November 2026 to 23 November 2030, with optional renewals of four years in two-year increments, allowing extension to 23 November 2034. Evaluation weighted price at 55%, quality at 35% and social value at 10%. Economic and technical selection requirements applied, and five bids were received, with one reaching the final stage.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a national health organisation for an integrated audit-monitoring platform rather than a standalone logging tool. A credible competitor would need to ingest and process high volumes of audit data from diverse NHS systems, connect through APIs and direct legacy interfaces, and validate staff and patient identities against authoritative sources. It would also need to deliver real-time dashboards that support information governance investigations, operate securely in a cloud environment connected to a health-service network, and scale as new clinical systems are introduced. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, and the selected supplier was an SME. The competitive field shows that suppliers with a complete, scalable product and relevant public-sector integration capability can progress through a formal quality, social value and price evaluation.
