| Procedure | Direct award |
| Reason for this procedure | The decision to proceed with a direct award to the current supplier is based on the supplier’s proven track record of delivering consistent, high-quality service and their deep understanding of our operational requirements. Maintaining continuity with the existing supplier ensures minimal disruption, preserves established workflows, and avoids the additional costs and risks associated with transitioning to a new provider. Furthermore, the supplier has demonstrated a strong commitment to partnership and continuous improvement, aligning well with our strategic objectives. |

| Risk Details | 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. |
