## Summary

The procurement process involves the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board seeking to secure a Medicode 360 Software License and Support Agreement. This agreement falls under the medical software package industry and is classified under CPV code 48180000. The procurement was completed via a transparency notice to maintain service continuity and mitigate risks associated with the expiration of the previous contract in 2024. Located in the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, the procurement method used was limited through a direct award without calling for competition, reflecting an urgent need for continuity in clinical coding functions. Essential details include the award signed on 19th December 2025 with KCI Medical Limited as the supplier.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in medical software, particularly those providing specialised coding solutions. The limited procurement method suggests a specialised niche, making it well-suited for established companies with expertise in health technology and medical coding. As the contract was directly awarded to KCI Medical Limited, businesses with similar capabilities and innovation might find future openings through frameworks that minimise service disruption and align with statutory regulations. Engaging in this sector could drive business expansion by tapping into ongoing needs for advanced health board coding functionalities.

## Notice

The previous 3M(tm) Medicode 360 contract with KCI Medical Limited supported key clinical coding functions for the Health Board. It ended in 2024 after four years at a value of around GBP168,317.52. A new procurement has now been completed via a transparency notice to ensure service continuity and explore improved market options.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The previous 3M(tm) Medicode 360 contract with KCI Medical Limited supported key clinical coding functions for the Health Board. It ended in 2024 after four years at a value of around GBP168,317.52. A new procurement has now been completed via a transparency notice to ensure service continuity and explore improved market options.

### Procurement Information

A direct award via the CCS framework is justified as it provides a fully compliant and efficient route to secure continuity of the highly specialised Medicode 360 clinical coding software, which is essential for maintaining accurate HRG grouping, SNOMED CT mapping and statutory reporting; the previous contract had expired, and awarding through the framework avoids service disruption and mitigates clinical and operational risks identified in the procurement process, while also ensuring alignment with procurement regulations and minimising administrative burden, particularly given the limited supplier market and urgency to maintain uninterrupted coding functionality for the Health Board.
