What is being bought

Published requirement description

Video consultations were introduced in Wales during the

COVID-19 pandemic and have become a well-established

and valued element of care delivery within Cardiff and Vale

UHB. Despite the cessation of Welsh Government funding in

March 2025, the Health Board continues to deliver

approximately 2,000 video consultations each month,

evidencing sustained clinical adoption and patient demand.

Video consultations enhance accessibility, support delivery

of both individual and group consultations, and provide a

clinically appropriate, cost-effective alternative to face-to face appointments

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
