This contract, aimed at ensuring service continuity for critical Transfusion delivery, was awarded to DH OpCo UK Ltd (Dedalus) for a value of £486,550.65. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies providing medical software packages and system maintenance services in the healthcare industry. The contract focuses on service continuity for critical Transfusion delivery, encompassing areas such as AE, Theatres, Maternity, cancer services, and critical care services. Suitable applicants must ensure compliance with legislative requirements and national guidelines to handle blood products effectively for patient safety. The contract location includes Wrexham Maelor Hospital, Glan Clwyd Hospital, and Ysbyty Gwynedd Bangor in the UK. ## Notice Dedalus are the current incumbent supplier for Telepath, and the system hosts a vast archive of historical data which is used to assess cross matching compatibility. Transfusion throughout Wales has not moved to the national system (WLIMS) but is scheduled to do so under the new LINC arrangements. This is anticipated to commence 2024 in BCUHB subject to suitable verification and validation of performance, and hence a full cover period is required from 2021-2025. Therefore the only viable option is to retain the existing services and vital cover via a direct award process for service continuity, in order to ensure patient safety and ability to handle blood products in accordance with legislative requirements and national guidelines. Failure to award to the incumbent supplier will result in cessation of transfusion services with an impact to AE, Theatres, Maternity, cancer services and critical care services. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The proposed contract with Dedalus for ilab Telepath support and disaster recovery is to ensure the service continuity for critical Transfusion delivery.
