Market Engagement for a Telehealth Adoption Framework for NHS Wales

Public Health Wales · NHS and health

In brief

Public Health Wales has announced plans to buy IT and software and medical supplies work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £1 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for IT and software contracts across the UK (from 1288 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
