Published risks
Changing suppliers at this stage presents several risks to contract performance, including potential service disruption, loss of operational continuity, and increased costs associated with onboarding a new provider. The current supplier has established familiarity with Cardiff and Vale university Health Board systems and processes, and replacing them could lead to delays, reduced efficiency, and quality issues during the transition period. Maintaining the existing relationship helps mitigate these risks and ensures consistent delivery aligned with organisational expectations.

No Agreed Metrics Rationale
KPIs have not been established for this contract due to the highly specialised and clinically governed nature of inherited genetic testing, where performance is monitored through clinical standards rather than procurement metrics. The service is delivered by a limited number of expert providers, making standardised KPIs difficult to apply meaningfully. Additionally, the contract was developed in response to a specific clinical need, and procurement involvement was limited during specification, resulting in no formal KPIs being agreed at award stage
