## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services has awarded an agreement to MAK-SYSTEM for the procurement of a 'rights to use license' to access the Blood Establishment Computer System (BECS) for an initial period of up to 2 years, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. The procurement process was completed, and the contracting authority applied a negotiated procedure without the publication of a contract notice. The procurement is for software supply services falling under the main procurement category of services.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in software supply services to compete for the provision of the Blood Establishment Computer System. Interested parties should note that the procurement method was limited, with the rationale being the absence of competition for technical reasons. The procurement process was initiated through a tender and has now reached the award stage. The location for the delivery of services is at the Welsh Blood Service facility in Talbot Green, Llantrisant, within the United Kingdom.

### Procurement Information

WBS intended to run a new competition for this requirement during 2020 and for a new agreement to commence with a 'go live' service date during 2022. The running of the competitive exercise was significantly delayed due to the resources within the WBS being redirected to support the NHS Wales response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Authority therefore needs to replan this competition and intends to publish a Prior Information Notice (PIN) during the autumn of 2022 to commence the process. To ensure contractual arrangements remain in place to maintain the continuity of this critical service, the Authority intends to use the negotiated procedure without prior publication in accordance with the use of Public Contract Regulations 2015 32 (2)(b)(ii) and (iii), competition is absent for technical reasons and (2)(b)(iii) - the protection of exclusive rights, including intellectual property rights.
