II.2.4) Description of the procurement
NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP), in Collaboration with the Respiratory Health Implementation Group and the acting lead Authority Cardiff and Vale University Health Board are undertaking a procurement on behalf of Local Health Boards in Wales to procure bespoke licensing to a system that will integrate the existing hardware located across Wales into the Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP).
Currently there is no integration between lung function results and WCP, so these results are not available when patients are seen in clinic. This inevitably results in repeat testing which is wasteful and low value.
Almost all lung function departments in Wales have independently purchased equipment from the same provider (Vyaire), who have a software system called Sentrysuite which can be configured to meet the NHS Wales Standards for Ordering and Reporting integration with the NHS Wales National Architecture. Having one system for Wales that meets these standards will improve information governance and data sharing, standardisation of test reports and data monitoring.
Due to the compatibility reasons between the hardware and software no other provider would be able to support this integration.

Section IV: Procedure
IV.1) Description
IV.1.1) Type of procedure
Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition
Justification for selected award procedure:
The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the Directive
Explanation:
There is a clinical need to integrate the current lung function results across Wales into the Welsh Clinical Portal. Due to existing Vyaire hardware investment across all the Health Boards there is no provider with the capability to deliver a financially viable solution that will operate together with the existing technical infrastructure. Due to compatibility reasons Vyaire are deemed the only provider with the technical ability to meet the needs to NHS Wales.
