Scope of works
Following a competitive procurement undertaken in 2019, a contract was awarded for the provision of the Apperta Foundation's OpenEyes Electronic Patient Record (EPR) solution for the management of ophthalmology services across NHS Wales. Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) is now undertaking an informal Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to better understand current market conditions and supplier capabilities in advance of any potential future procurement activity. This engagement relates solely to the hosting, support, maintenance, and ongoing development of the OpenEyes solution across NHS Wales. The scope includes support for implementations within secondary care ophthalmology departments and community optometric practices. Interested suppliers are invited to complete a Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire, available via the eTenderWales portal: https://etenderwales.bravosolution.co.uk/home.html Completed RFI responses must be submitted through the eTenderWales portal no later than 12:00 noon on 1 October 2026. This exercise is being undertaken for market research purposes only and does not constitute a procurement process, commitment to procure, or invitation to tender. DHCW has not yet determined whether a future procurement will be undertaken. Information gathered through this engagement will be used to inform future decision-making and procurement strategy development. Following review of the RFI responses, DHCW reserves the right to engage with respondents on an individual basis to clarify, verify, or supplement information provided.
