Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the awarding stage for its procurement process involving the renewal of digital dictation system licences for Hywel Dda University Health Board's Digital Directorate. With an award date of 9 February 2026, this project involves the procurement of goods for the health sector and focuses on improving speech recognition and digital dictation capabilities. The procurement method was limited, with no prior call for competition; this approach was facilitated by a compliant framework agreement. Although the bidding statistics indicate one bid received from a large supplier, T-Pro, based in Dublin, this procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare technology and digital systems.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses with expertise in digital system solutions, particularly those adept in speech recognition technologies and healthcare-related digital dictation services. Large enterprises with established technology in these areas can significantly benefit, given the substantial contract value of £613,934.64 in GBP, and the potential for workflow optimisation and analytics integration within the health sector. Organisations with an interest in expanding within the UK’s regional health sector could strategically position themselves for similar procurement opportunities, aligning their offerings to the requirements demonstrated by NHS procurement standards and frameworks.
