## Summary

Public Health Wales, operating from Cardiff, has concluded a procurement process to ensure continuity of service for the GAMBAN Self Exclusion Tool, effective from 1st April 2026. This direct award contract, valued at £218,640 gross, involves Gamban, a supplier based in Southampton, and spans one year with a potential extension for another year. It aims to maintain accessibility for users in Wales, particularly after GambleAware ceases operations. The process, categorized under health and IT services, concluded with the award stage, ensuring compliance with Welsh devolved regulations and central government requirements.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for SMEs, particularly those involved in IT and health services, to enhance their portfolios through collaboration. Despite Gamban being the sole supplier positioned to support the continuity of the self-exclusion tool, businesses in software development and consulting can explore parallel avenues in gambling harm prevention and support services. With Public Health Wales actively engaging in sustainable, long-term solutions for gambling harm, suppliers providing innovative solutions can find growth prospects aligned with policy frameworks and public sector health objectives. This direct award method underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in delivering public health services.

## Notice

Gamban is a smartphone-based self-exclusion tool, currently available free to users in Wales via the National Gambling Helpline, GAMSTOP and other treatment providers. There is also an option for individuals to self fund independently of these platforms. Welsh Government has committed to ensuring continuity of access for all current users from 1st April 2026, when GambleAware ceases operations. The proposed contract is interim, for one year with an option to extend for a further year.

### Procurement Information

PHW is continuing use of an established self-exclusion tool, ensuring continuity of the specific provision that is currently embedded within the main support infrastructure. Gamban is the only supplier positioned to continue this support in the interim.
