Since the COVID-19 pandemic, CAVUHB has faced significant challenges in recruiting and retaining permanent coding staff due to increased remote-working opportunities across the UK and higher pay offered by English trusts. As a result, the Health Board has become increasingly reliant on agency clinical coders to offset an internal staffing shortfall of approximately 8 WTE.The national market for on-site clinical coders has become highly competitive, with reduced availability among agencies and no single agency able to supply sufficient numbers to meet departmental demand. Consequently, CAVUHB has relied on multiple single-supplier call-offs to ensure continuity of service. This procurement will secure agency ACC cover from April 2026 to March 2027 to maintain operational throughput while permanent recruitment continues.The contract will provide ACCs capable of delivering high-volume, high-accuracy clinical coding across a range of specialities, based on site at UHW and UHL. Coders will work under the direction of the Clinical Coding Manager, following weekly prioritisation instructions and adhering to national and local clinical coding standards. Coders will be required to deliver a minimum agreed output and achieve 95% accuracy, with performance monitored weekly. Failure to meet output or accuracy targets will result in removal of individual coders from the contract.This procurement ensures business continuity, supports statutory reporting requirements, and enables the Health Board to improve coding completeness during a period of staffing shortage. The scope is limited to the Health Records/Clinical Coding Department and will not include additional services outside this remit. The requirement reflects a continuation of existing operational need, with no major changes to service delivery anticipated beyond securing a stable, compliant, and consistent coding resource. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 79610000 - **Delivery regions:** UKL - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (1) - **Award:** CLINICAL CODER (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **Placing Talent Limited** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-PPON:PDVV-9229-ZLDD` - Value: £388,629 (exc.
