Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board bought a medicines optimisation electronic approval system for high-cost medicines. The system is intended to provide clinical and financial governance, supporting compliance with recommendations from NICE and the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group. The requirement covers information technology services, including software, implementation support and ongoing technical support. Delivery is in Wales, with the procurement managed by NHS Wales Shared Services and Partnership on the Health Board’s behalf. The contract is relevant to suppliers of healthcare software, medicines governance platforms, electronic approval workflows and associated support services. It may also suit smaller technology businesses able to provide a focused system for high-cost drug approval, oversight and compliance within NHS clinical and financial processes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. The award was made to Blueteq on 22 April 2026, and the contract was signed on 7 May 2026. The contract runs from 8 May 2026 to 7 May 2028. Its value is £88,000 excluding VAT, or £105,600 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the full requirement, and it was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded service category is IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. The selected supplier is Blueteq, an SME. The contracting authority is Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, with NHS Wales Shared Services and Partnership managing the procurement process.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for a specialist system that controls approval of high-cost medicines while linking clinical governance, financial governance and compliance with NICE and All Wales Medicines Strategy Group recommendations. Suppliers considering future work for this buyer would need a credible healthcare software platform, secure electronic approval workflows and practical support for clinical and financial users. Experience of medicines optimisation, high-cost drug governance or NHS operational requirements would strengthen a bid. The requirement is sufficiently focused for an SME with a proven product and the capacity to implement and support it for a Health Board. A competing supplier would need to show reliable service delivery, relevant healthcare understanding and evidence that its system can support auditable approval and compliance processes.
