Summary of the contracting process

Public Health Wales, operating from Cardiff, has concluded a procurement process to ensure continuity of service for the GAMBAN Self Exclusion Tool, effective from 1st April 2026. This direct award contract, valued at £218,640 gross, involves Gamban, a supplier based in Southampton, and spans one year with a potential extension for another year. It aims to maintain accessibility for users in Wales, particularly after GambleAware ceases operations. The process, categorized under health and IT services, concluded with the award stage, ensuring compliance with Welsh devolved regulations and central government requirements.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for SMEs, particularly those involved in IT and health services, to enhance their portfolios through collaboration. Despite Gamban being the sole supplier positioned to support the continuity of the self-exclusion tool, businesses in software development and consulting can explore parallel avenues in gambling harm prevention and support services. With Public Health Wales actively engaging in sustainable, long-term solutions for gambling harm, suppliers providing innovative solutions can find growth prospects aligned with policy frameworks and public sector health objectives. This direct award method underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in delivering public health services.
