Summary of the contracting process

Public Health Wales NHS Trust has awarded a three-year contract to Minitab Ltd for the provision of software licences for Simul8 digital simulation software. The procurement falls under the 'services' category and was conducted via a direct method below the threshold, without competition. The contract, valued at £96,927.44, will run from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029. The procurement was managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership on behalf of NHS Performance and Improvement, and takes place in Cardiff, United Kingdom. The award notice was published on 8th June 2026, and significant milestones include a future signature date scheduled for the 26th June 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that specialise in software supply services and are keen on collaborating with public health organisations. Companies with expertise in digital simulation software will find this contract particularly aligned with their capabilities. While Minitab Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Coventry, has been awarded the contract, similar future opportunities could benefit technology providers that can deliver specialised software solutions to streamline healthcare performance and improvement initiatives.
