Summary of the contracting process

Hywel Dda University Health Board’s Digital Directorate procured a risk ledger software solution for its digital supplier assurance and risk management activities. The system is intended to support five internal users and the management of approximately 200 suppliers. Its purpose is to help the Health Board identify, assess and actively manage cyber security, data protection and operational risks arising from third-party suppliers. These suppliers support clinical systems, cloud services, medical devices and data processing functions. The requirement aligns with Digital Health and Care Wales standards and wider NHS Wales initiatives, and follows audit findings relating to cyber security and supplier assurance. The procurement is for software and information systems for use by Hywel Dda University Health Board in Wales.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, using the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 Framework Agreement. The contract was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited, with one bid received. Price was the stated award criterion. The contract value is £89,400. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026. The available outcome data records the supplier award as active and the contract as active. The tender record also marks its single lot as cancelled, so businesses should treat the active award and signed contract as the operative outcome. No contract end date or duration is recorded. The buyer is Hywel Dda University Health Board.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist software that gives a health board structured oversight of third-party digital suppliers. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need a credible risk ledger or supplier assurance platform, with practical capability across cyber security, data protection and operational risk management. Experience supporting organisations that depend on clinical systems, cloud services, medical devices and data processing would be relevant. The solution must be usable by a small internal team while managing a sizeable supplier base, so straightforward administration, scalable records, reporting and risk assessment workflows would matter. Familiarity with Digital Health and Care Wales standards, NHS Wales initiatives and public-sector assurance requirements would strengthen a supplier’s position. The single-bid outcome also shows the requirement was met through a framework route.
