## Summary

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has concluded a procurement process to address staffing shortages in clinical coding through the services tender titled "Clinical Coders". This contract, focused on the health industry category, aims to maintain the coding completeness targets at the University Hospital of Wales and University Hospital Llandough. The process was in the award stage as of 9th March 2026. Due to the urgent necessity for accredited agency clinical coders to support statutory reporting and business continuity, the contract employs a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication. The procurement is based out of Cardiff, UK, and covers the fiscal year from April 2026 to March 2027.

This tender opens up significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large businesses experienced in providing specialised staffing solutions in the health sector. With a total contract value of £387,557.50, this is a substantial agreement aimed at ensuring high-volume and accurate clinical coding services. Quality Coding & Information Recruitment Solutions Limited TA Placing Talent, a robust supplier in the field, has been awarded the contract due to their ability to deliver the required volume and efficiency promptly. Businesses with competencies in health services, especially those capable of rapidly deploying skilled professionals, would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes in the future.
