Market Engagement for a Telehealth Adoption Framework for NHS Wales
Procurement agent: Public Health Wales·On behalf of: Velindre University NHS Trust
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionNHS Wales Performance and Improvement (NHS P&I) are issuing this Market Engagement Notice to engage with suppliers to gather feedback to support the development of a Telehealth Adoption Framework for NHS Wales. For the purposes of this engagement, Telehealth encompasses the use of digital technologies to support prevention, self-management, remote monitoring, virtual care, proactive intervention and home-based models of care.
This preliminary market engagement exercise seeks to improve understanding of current and emerging market capability, implementation experience and future innovation.
Suppliers should note that this engagement is also intended to improve understanding of supplier readiness against current standards, guidance and assurance arrangements commonly adopted within NHS and public sector environments, together with future areas of strategic importance. This information will help inform future implementation guidance and procurement considerations but should not be interpreted as defining mandatory requirements for any future procurement activity.
Information gathered will inform the Telehealth Adoption Framework for Wales and future implementation, adoption and procurement considerations. This exercise is not a formal procurement process, does not constitute a call for competition and does not commit NHS Wales to any future procurement.
Suppliers are invited to provide information through a written submission and will have the opportunity to attend a structured engagement session which are scheduled for the 1st, 7th and 10th September 2026. Initially, 15 60-minutes sessions will be made available on a first come first served basis, however, at its sole discretion, NHS P&I may extend this opportunity beyond this dependant on the levels of interest from the marketplace (but this is not guaranteed).
Interested supplier should express their interest in this opportunity and submit a request for information to the following email address: [email protected]
Any dates or values included in this notice are for compliance with the requirements of the notice and should not be viewed as indicative of any future procurement process.

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
