Lot Information

Lot 1

Cardiff & Vale University Health Board is the local NHS Wales health board for Cardiff and its surrounding areas, including the Vale of Glamorgan. It serves approximately 450,000 residents across its primary and secondary care centres, and also offers specialist services on an all-Wales basis, including - but not limited to - paediatrics, renal, and neurology. The Health Board's largest hospital is the University Hospital of Wales, which also incorporates the Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales. University Hospital Llandough is the second largest site (incorporating a dedicated specialist mental health unit, Hafan Y Coed, on its grounds) with smaller community hospitals across the region providing a mix of outpatient and/or specialist services, such as Barry Hospital and Cardiff Royal Infirmary.

This is hosted via Digital Healthcare Wales (DHCW) hardware. The analysers must comply with the Health Board's IT networking, cybersecurity, and GDPR protocols for connection and any remote access functionality, as required. The analysers must be capable of interfacing directly with All Wales Data Management system ( Siemens POC Celerator-WPOCT), irrespective of any additional supplier middleware which may also be available.. To support the construction of appropriate technical requirements in relation to this blood gas analyser procurement.
