The GP Links contract provides message-based integration between secondary care applications and GP Practices in Wales. The solution procured replaced all previous secondary care to primary care GP Links solutions in Wales and it takes results from Welsh Laboratory Information Management System (“WLIMS”), Radiology Systems (“WRIS”) as well as Screening messages and Accident & Emergency letters from Cwm Taf and sends them to GP Practices across NHS Wales.
In April 2021, DHCW received an urgent request for a new Vaccination Message dataflow to enable the transmission of Vaccine Messages from the BSO Vaccine Management System (“VMS”) and the DHCW Welsh Immunisation System (“WIS”) onto GP Practices. The Change Control Notice (“CCN”) was issued on an urgent basis as it was required to enable NHS Wales to meet the needs of the national COVID immunisation programme. This was an urgent unforeseen change as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was unclear at the time whether the new dataflow would be required for the remaining duration of the contract.

- Change In April 2021, DHCW received an urgent request for a new Vaccination Message dataflow to enable the transmission of Vaccine Messages from the BSO Vaccine Management System (“VMS”) and the DHCW Welsh Immunisation System (“WIS”) onto GP Practices. The Change Control Notice (“CCN”) was issued on an urgent basis as it was required to enable NHS Wales to meet the needs of the national COVID immunisation programme. This was an urgent unforeseen change as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was unclear at the time whether the new dataflow would be required for the remaining duration of the contract. In accordance with government policy and public health requirements it has become a business as usual requirement to support the Vaccination Programme which has necessitated the need to modify the contract., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The GP Links solution is so bespoke and embedded within DHCWs’ national product set that it would present significant technical difficulties, inconvenience and disproportionate costs to employ a separate contractor to deliver the existing service whilst migrating on to a replacement solution.
