Summary of the contracting process

Public Health Wales NHS Trust commissioned the review and further development of websites supporting work on adverse childhood experiences, criminal justice and violence prevention. The requirement is a digital and IT services project covering website review, development and related internet support. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership managed the procurement on behalf of Public Health Wales NHS Trust, with NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services acting as the purchasing service. Delivery is across Wales. The procurement was classified as services, with the relevant classification covering IT consulting, software development, internet and support. The requirement may suit website agencies, digital consultancies and software development firms with experience of improving public-facing websites for health, safeguarding, criminal justice or violence-prevention services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a below-threshold open competition. The estimated value was £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT), while the signed contract with Thornacre is worth £56,000 excluding VAT (£67,200 including VAT). The contract was signed on 3 September 2026 and runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with annual continuation available from 2027 to 2031 subject to funding; the buyer can terminate on 30 days’ notice. The tender enquiry deadline was 25 June 2026 at 2pm and the bid deadline was 1 July 2026 at 2pm. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 40% and commercial price at 60%. The lot was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist website review and development within a Welsh public health setting, focused on sensitive subject areas including adverse childhood experiences, criminal justice and violence prevention. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in website assessment, user-focused improvement, software or web development, internet support and delivery of accessible public-sector digital services. Experience of handling safeguarding, health, criminal justice or violence-prevention content would help demonstrate understanding of the operating environment, while the technical submission would need to show quality strongly enough to compete under a 40% technical weighting. The successful supplier, Thornacre, is recorded as an SME, indicating that the work can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large systems integrator. The buyer’s emphasis on price also favours efficient delivery and clear commercial control.
