## Summary

Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) has completed a procurement process for a "Notification Service for Vaccination Programme for TTP service", focusing on postal and telecommunications services to support the Covid-19 vaccination programme. This limited tender was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition and is valued at £5,700,000. The contract was signed on 18 June 2021, with the service being critical to issuing electronic messages to citizens across NHS Wales. The procurement process has now reached the award stage.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in messaging services, particularly those specialising in telecommunications technology and solutions. Companies that provide innovative and efficient communications systems, such as SMS or email services, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. As DHCW intends to continue using the UK Gov Notify platform due to its effectiveness during the pandemic, vendors capable of delivering scalable messaging solutions will find aligned opportunities in forthcoming projects stemming from this critical public health initiative.

## Notice

DHCW is seeking to use UK Gov Notify - the government's messaging platform to support its Covid-19 Vaccination programme and the issuing of electronic messaging to the citizens of Wales.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

DHCW is seeking to use UK Gov Notify - the government's messaging platform to support its Covid-19 Vaccination programme. This solution is vital in ensuring that critical, urgent messages are issued efficiently from Health Boards to its patients. This service needs to be in place to support the Welsh Government's Covid-19 Vaccination Service. Additional information: The number of messages and letters sent will depend upon the roll out of the vaccination programme and the need for a potential third dose.

### Procurement Information

It is clear with the continued roll out of the vaccination service, the use of the UK Gov Notify messaging platform will need to continue to be provisioned by DHCW for the next 12 months. An 'invite to attend' letter is still the initial "use case" for this service, which has significantly reduced the administrative burden on uHB's and/or DHCW in the printing and issuing of these letters. Finally it has been further developed in response to the COVID pandemic as the "go to" platform for use in respect of managing the risks of COVID. Therefore, the time limits for the open or restricted procedures or competitive procedures with negotiation cannot be complied with (even using the shortened time limits available).
