Summary of the contracting process

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has completed the award phase of a procurement process titled "Qpulse." This process falls within the "services" industry category and involves the supply of software, specifically for the provision of Q-Pulse quality and compliance management software. The contract, valued at £136,570.02, was signed on 1st April 2026. The procurement method used was a limited process, involving an award without prior publication of a competition call, due to the protection of exclusive rights. The location of delivery is specified as the All Wales Medical Genomics Service at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the software supply and management sector, particularly those specialising in compliance and quality management systems. As the contract involves maintaining existing software and related support services, businesses with expertise in these areas would have competitive advantages. However, as this contract was awarded through a call-off under an existing framework agreement, no further competition was conducted, highlighting the importance for businesses to become part of such frameworks to seize similar opportunities in the future.
