This procurement, which falls under the health industry category, was executed on 3rd March 2026 through a direct award procedure under the CCS Framework RM6277. The contract, valued at £36,858, extends the existing call-off arrangement for three months, ensuring continuous operational delivery and technical change management for the clinically critical ePMA system at the Wales Genomic Health Centre, located at Cardiff Edge Business Park. The procurement method utilised a limited approach, bypassing the need for prior publication of a competitive call, thereby streamlining the award stage. This tender presents opportunities for large-scale companies specialising in IT professional services, particularly those with expertise in ePMA systems. The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board's strategic approach to contract extension allows businesses that have already established specialised knowledge and technical competencies in ePMA to maintain service delivery without disruption. Moreover, the direct award highlights the demand for highly specialised roles within niche markets in the healthcare sector, which could encourage further investment in technical expertise and competitive positioning among similar providers. ## 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 | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=162333 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract 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 | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=162333 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR593623 EPMA TECHNICAL CHANGE MANGER - 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.
