This action was executed as part of the G Cloud 14 initiative through a selective procurement method, adhering to a restricted procedure compliant with CELEX regulations 32014L0024. The contract was signed with Ideagen Technology Ltd on 15 June 2026 and holds an active status with a value of £145,500. The services were intended to be delivered within the UK region, specifically in the UKL area, classified under IT services including consulting, software development, internet, and support. Despite the contract's completion and active status, the lot associated with this award had been marked as cancelled earlier. This procurement process presents notable prospects for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those specialising in the pharmaceutical sector. With the health sector continuously evolving and requiring sophisticated software solutions for quality management, businesses adept in software development and IT support can significantly benefit by aligning with public health organisations like NHS Wales. The competitive edge can be further sharpened by targeting future tenders, leveraging experience in executing contracts awarded under selective procurement methods like the G Cloud framework. This opens up myriad opportunities not only for SMEs like Ideagen Technology Ltd but also for larger IT service providers looking to expand into the public sector market. ## Notice Pharmaceutical quality management software and associated support services ### Lot Information Cloud Hosting Pharmaceutical quality management software and associated support services Options: Option to extend the contract by one year.
