Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Gluten Free Subsidy Card Scheme, initiated by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services (hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust), has reached the award stage. This scheme, classified within the health industry category, aims to provide a pre-paid subsidy debit card for patients in Wales who are clinically diagnosed as requiring gluten free food products. The scheme is across multiple health boards in Wales with key locations including Cardiff, Pontypool, St Asaph, Merthyr Tydfil, Carmarthen, Bronllys, and Port Talbot. The contract, worth £10,840,136.90 in total, was awarded on 23rd July 2024, with a start date of 1st August 2024. It will run for three years with a possibility of a one-year extension. The procurement method used was a restricted procedure as a mini competition against the Crown Commercial Services Framework Payment Solutions 2 RM6248, Lot 2 Prepaid Cards.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for suppliers of prepaid card solutions and those with expertise in healthcare-related financial services. Given the scale of this contract, it is well-suited for SMEs like ALLPAY LTD, the awarded supplier, who specialise in such payment solutions. Businesses that can provide robust technical and price-competitive offerings stand to benefit, as the quality and price criteria weighed heavily in the evaluation process (30% technical, 60% price). This procurement allows selected businesses to establish a firm presence in the public healthcare sector, ultimately supporting the Welsh health boards in delivering cost-efficient and effective solutions to their patients.
