Technologies to innovate new health and care spaces

Procurement description

Contracts for Innovation Cymru (formally known as the Small Business Research Initiative) is embarking on a highly ambitious programme of work that will see the transformation of the way that we deliver health and wellbeing across Wales. The purpose of the Pre-Market Engagement (PME) exercise is to understand the art of the possible in terms of innovative solutions to aid the transformation of patient centred health and wellbeing services, making it more accessible, efficient, and person-centered.

Contracts for Innovation Cymru is seeking to understand the solutions and technologies currently available in the marketplace to help refine our overall requirements, prepare the market for a future opportunity, and explore the art of the possible in creating a world leading health and wellbeing service for all of Wales.

We want to be able to maximise the opportunity of the latest tried and tested technology to offer a simplified, responsive, seamless and consistent patient experience no matter who you are or where you live within Wales. This transformation will be underpinned by multiple innovative solutions that enable the redesign of the health and well being services, processes, communication mechanisms and functions that support patient contact. Please note that this is not a call for competition.
