Published justification

Due to the critical requirements outlined in the description within this notice, the Health Board have determined that the Espion device from Diagnosys is the only supplier who meet the criteria.

Diagnosys are a market leading organisation in the provision of hardware and software to support neuro-physiology for eye care pathology and is already fully operational in the University Hospital Wales. This equipment already interfaces seamlessly in the Health Board’s Clinical Portal and generic letters are able to be generated which will enable application outputs to be distributed to the patients referring across Wales.

The Diagnosys Espion will provide;

  • 100% compatibility in report output.
  • Ability to review comparative data outputs on a patient to identify changes in their sight, and if applicable what clinical action is required. Additional backend storage.
  • Avoidance in the development of new interfaces and the impact on the delay service being available to the patients of Wales.

Welsh Government funding is only available within 2021/22 and therefore, the awarded supplier must be able to deliver the equipment by the 31st March 2022.

Based on the details within this notice, the Health Board is applying a 10 day standstill prior to awarding a contract to Diagnosys.
