Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of an ePMA Technical Change Manager. This procurement, which falls under the health industry category, was executed on 3rd March 2026 through a direct award procedure under the CCS Framework RM6277. The contract, valued at £36,858, extends the existing call-off arrangement for three months, ensuring continuous operational delivery and technical change management for the clinically critical ePMA system at the Wales Genomic Health Centre, located at Cardiff Edge Business Park. The procurement method utilised a limited approach, bypassing the need for prior publication of a competitive call, thereby streamlining the award stage.

This tender presents opportunities for large-scale companies specialising in IT professional services, particularly those with expertise in ePMA systems. The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's strategic approach to contract extension allows businesses that have already established specialised knowledge and technical competencies in ePMA to maintain service delivery without disruption. Moreover, the direct award highlights the demand for highly specialised roles within niche markets in the healthcare sector, which could encourage further investment in technical expertise and competitive positioning among similar providers.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Extension of the existing call-off contract for an ePMA Technical Change Manager to support ongoing ePMA operational delivery and technical change management within Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The extension is issued via a Contract Change Notice under the CCS Framework RM6277 (Lot 3 - IT Professionals) for a further 3 months to maintain continuity of service and programme stability

Procurement Information

A direct award via the CCS framework RM6277 is justified because it is a fully compliant and legally permitted route that allows continuation of the existing call-off contract without altering scope, pricing, or deliverables, ensuring uninterrupted specialist support for the clinically critical ePMA system; the current supplier already possesses essential programme knowledge and highly specialised technical expertise, and the limited market for ePMA professionals means re-procurement would risk delays, higher costs, and service disruption, whereas the framework enables a rapid, low-risk, best-value extension through a Contract Change Notice in line with framework provisions
