Why this procedure was chosen
A direct award has been made to ensure continuity of service and compliance with procurement regulations. The Health Board has awarded a 12‑month contract to the incumbent supplier, Access UK, via the CCS G‑Cloud 14 Framework (Lot 2: Cloud Software – RM1557.14). A review of requirements, a Digital Marketplace search, and an assessment of shortlisted options confirmed that Access UK remains the most suitable provider, due to existing system integrations and the cost, disruption, and operational risk associated with migrating to an alternative platform at this time.
