## Summary

The procurement process is led by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, for the acquisition of software and licensing to integrate lung function test reports with the Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP). This tender, identified as CAV-DCO (21-22) 322, falls under the goods category focusing on software package and information systems. Based in Cardiff, this procurement is in the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 22nd March 2022. The procurement method employed is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, specifically addressing a clinical need for integration across Local Health Boards in Wales.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in healthcare software solutions, particularly those with expertise in integrating medical devices and clinical data systems. Businesses that have capabilities in delivering bespoke software tailored to meet NHS standards, and those familiar with the existing Vyaire hardware, would be especially well-positioned to compete effectively. The integration of lung function results into the WCP is expected to streamline operations and improve patient care, indicating a need for innovative solutions that can enhance data governance and report standardisation across NHS Wales.

## Notice

Purchase of Software and Licensing to support Integration of existing Vyaire hardware into the Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP)

### Lot Information

Lot 1

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), in Collaboration with the Respiratory Health Implementation Group and the acting lead Authority Cardiff and Vale University Health Board are undertaking a procurement on behalf of Local Health Boards in Wales to procure bespoke licensing to a system that will integrate the existing hardware located across Wales into the Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP). Currently there is no integration between lung function results and WCP, so these results are not available when patients are seen in clinic. This inevitably results in repeat testing which is wasteful and low value. Almost all lung function departments in Wales have independently purchased equipment from the same provider (Vyaire), who have a software system called Sentrysuite which can be configured to meet the NHS Wales Standards for Ordering and Reporting integration with the NHS Wales National Architecture. Having one system for Wales that meets these standards will improve information governance and data sharing, standardisation of test reports and data monitoring. Due to the compatibility reasons between the hardware and software no other provider would be able to support this integration.

### Procurement Information

There is a clinical need to integrate the current lung function results across Wales into the Welsh Clinical Portal. Due to existing Vyaire hardware investment across all the Health Boards there is no provider with the capability to deliver a financially viable solution that will operate together with the existing technical infrastructure. Due to compatibility reasons Vyaire are deemed the only provider with the technical ability to meet the needs to NHS Wales.
