Summary of the contracting process

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has completed a public procurement process for services related to software supply, with a focus on quality and compliance management. The tender, titled "CT REVOLUTION APEX – MAINTENANCE COVER," is aligned under the industry category of software supply services (CPV code 72268000). The process was executed without prior publication of a call for competition due to the protection of exclusive rights, following the award procedures compliant with existing framework agreements and Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This contract was particularly aimed at providing Q-Pulse software to ensure ongoing regulatory compliance at the University Hospital of Wales, located in Heath Park, Cardiff. The procurement stage was completed with the signing date of the contract on 28 December 2025, involving a financial commitment of £886,782.09.

This procurement creates opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of specialised software services, particularly those with a strong track record of supporting quality and compliance standards. Although the bidding opportunities were limited due to the specific proprietary nature of the software services required, enterprises capable of navigating such exclusive frameworks will find growth opportunities in similar projects. Large-scale suppliers, such as GE Medical Systems Limited, which was the awarded supplier, are ideal contenders in this procurement context, owing to their capability to deliver and maintain critical compliance systems in high-stakes environments like healthcare. The contract underscores a significant opportunity for those in the software services sector to partner with public health boards and expand their service footprint in the UK healthcare industry.
