Description

We are seeking a suitably skilled and experienced supplier to define and deliver a user-led approach to developing Minimum Operating Data Standards (MODS) for social care in Wales. This will involve deep engagement with stakeholders, identification and prioritisation of use cases, and development of a structured Data Catalogue to inform the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) framework. This contract will be split across the following phases: Phase 1: Engagement and Discovery Phase 2: Further Development and Implementation

Renewal Options

Phase 2 – If extended, will run for a further 12 months from 1 April 2026 – 31 March 2027, up to a total contract period of 16.5 months. Phase 2 will be subject to funding, the successful completion of Phase 1, and the agreement to extend the contract. Social Care Wales intends to engage the successful supplier from this tender to undertake Phase 2, subject to negotiation and agreement of final costs.

Other Information

Note: Social Care Wales will commission FHIR expertise through a separate contract. While both the successful supplier of this tender and the FHIR experts will have distinct areas of responsibility, they will be expected to work in close collaboration to ensure alignment between the development of the MODS and its mapping to the HL7 FHIR framework. This joint approach will ensure that technical compatibility is built in from the outset and that both strands of work progress in a coordinated, efficient manner. Please see ITT for full details. ** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. **
