UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is procuring an extension of its TelePath/iLAB service, classified as database services. The requirement is for continued service provision through the extension, rather than a new system purchase described in the available scope. The Health Board is the buyer; NHS Wales Shared Services and Partnership managed the procurement. Delivery is in Wales, with the service locations identified in the underlying data as places in the UK regions covering Cwm Taf Morgannwg and Cardiff and Vale. The requirement sits within healthcare IT and database service provision, so it is most relevant to suppliers that maintain or support clinical laboratory information systems and associated databases for NHS organisations. The named service is TelePath/iLAB; the precise technical tasks covered by the extension are not further set out here.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Dedalus DH OPCO UK Ltd. The award was made on 23 September 2026, with a contract period from 1 January to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £13,957.71 excluding VAT (£16,749.25 including VAT). There is one lot. The buyer used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition; this was not an open competitive exercise. The procurement description records an intention to award and a standstill period, with representations due by midnight on 5 October 2026. A contract signature was scheduled for 6 October 2026. The published data does not state an evaluation basis or comparative scoring criteria, consistent with the non-competitive route.

This award shows continuing demand from Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board for TelePath/iLAB database services in a healthcare setting. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement in future would need credible capability to support this named clinical laboratory system and maintain service continuity for an NHS health board. Relevant experience would include supporting healthcare databases and understanding the operational needs of laboratory services. The procurement went directly to the existing or selected provider without competition, so a future competitor would also need to understand the buyer’s incumbent-system context and demonstrate a practical route to delivering the required service. The awarded contract is a short extension, indicating a limited, continuity-focused scope rather than a broad technology transformation. The data identifies no specific certifications, technical standards or staffing requirements, so suppliers should base their assessment on the TelePath/iLAB service capability and NHS delivery experience.
