This procurement falls under the services category in the recruitment industry and is set in Cardiff, Wales, at the Wales Genomic Health Centre. It is currently in the award stage with the most recent update dated 3rd March 2026, following a contract signing on 23rd February 2026. The procurement method employed is a limited procedure under the CCS Framework RM6277, specifically Lot 3, IT Professionals, which enables direct awards without prior competition to ensure uninterrupted service delivery and programme stability for a further three months. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services, particularly those with expertise in IT and technical change management. The extension of the contract with HAYS Specialist Recruitment Limited reflects a preference for established suppliers with essential programme knowledge and technical expertise. Consequently, businesses equipped with skilled professionals who can support ePMA operational delivery might find this market ripe for expansion. The described procurement process is ideally suited to firms that can provide rapid, value-effective solutions without compromising on quality, thus making it highly appealing to well-established and result-oriented companies in related fields. ## Notice Extension of the existing call-off contract for an ePMA Technical Change Manager to support ongoing ePMA operational delivery and technical change management within Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The extension is issued via a Contract Change Notice under the CCS Framework RM6277 (Lot 3 - IT Professionals) for a further 3 months to maintain continuity of service and programme stability ### Lot Information Lot 1 Extension of the existing call-off contract for an ePMA Technical Change Manager to support ongoing ePMA operational delivery and technical change management within Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. The extension is issued via a Contract Change Notice under the CCS Framework RM6277 (Lot 3 - IT Professionals) for a further 3 months to maintain continuity of service and programme stability ### Procurement Information A direct award via the CCS framework RM6277 is justified because it is a fully compliant and legally permitted route that allows continuation of the existing call-off contract without altering scope, pricing, or deliverables, ensuring uninterrupted specialist support for the clinically critical ePMA system; the current supplier already possesses essential programme knowledge and highly specialised technical expertise, and the limited market for ePMA professionals means re-procurement would risk delays, higher costs, and service disruption, whereas the framework enables a rapid, low-risk, best-value extension through a Contract Change Notice in line with framework provisions ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018889-2026 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Feb 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £36,858 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CARDIFF AND VALE UNIVERSITY HEALTH BOARD | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF14 4HH | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Heath | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff North | | Delivery location | TLL22 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | HAYS SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79600000 - Recruitment services ## Release History - 3 Mar 2026 at 12:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018889-2026 ## Notice URLs - http://nwssp.nhs.wales/ourservices/procurement-services/ - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0221 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
