Summary of the contracting process

Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government commissioned specialist consultancy support to refresh the national Digital and Data Health and Care Strategy for Wales. The work covers business and management consultancy and systems and technical consultancy services, with delivery across Wales. It is a public-sector health and care strategy assignment rather than a product supply or construction project. The requirement is aimed at advisers able to support strategic work at national level, combining understanding of digital strategy with the operational and technical context of health and care services. The buyer is the Welsh Government, a central public authority based in Cardiff, applying Welsh devolved procurement regulations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 2 July 2026 to Digital Care Consulting Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one lot. The active contract was signed on 2 July 2026 and runs from 2 July to 30 November 2026, with an option to extend the period to 31 March 2027 if necessary. Its value is £68,000 excluding VAT, or £81,600 including VAT. The award covers business and management consultancy and systems and technical consultancy services. The contract is for the Welsh Government’s Digital and Data Health and Care Strategy Refresh and is being delivered in Wales.

This award indicates demand from the Welsh Government for specialist advisers who can shape national digital strategy for health and care, rather than simply deliver a software implementation. A credible future competitor would need to combine strategic consultancy, business and management analysis, and systems or technical consultancy, with a clear understanding of how digital services operate across health and care. Experience of working with public-sector stakeholders and translating complex digital and data issues into a practical national strategy would be particularly relevant. The incumbent is an SME, showing that the requirement can suit a focused specialist consultancy as well as a large multidisciplinary firm. The direct-award route also shows the buyer has used a below-threshold procurement for this type of focused advisory engagement.
