Lot Information
Lot 1
Extension of the existing call-off contract for an ePMA Technical Change Manager to support ongoing ePMA operational delivery and technical change management within Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The extension is issued via a Contract Change Notice under the CCS Framework RM6277 (Lot 3 - IT Professionals) for a further 3 months to maintain continuity of service and programme stability
Procurement Information
A direct award via the CCS framework RM6277 is justified because it is a fully compliant and legally permitted route that allows continuation of the existing call-off contract without altering scope, pricing, or deliverables, ensuring uninterrupted specialist support for the clinically critical ePMA system; the current supplier already possesses essential programme knowledge and highly specialised technical expertise, and the limited market for ePMA professionals means re-procurement would risk delays, higher costs, and service disruption, whereas the framework enables a rapid, low-risk, best-value extension through a Contract Change Notice in line with framework provisions
