Description
Hywel Dda University Health Board's (HDUHB) Digital Directorate have awarded a contract to procure a risk ledger software solution to support five (5) internal users and the management of approximately 200 suppliers. This requirement aligns with Digital Health and Care Wales (DHCW) standards and wider NHS Wales initiatives, following recent audit findings within Digital Services, particularly in relation to cyber security and supplier assurance. The Health Board are reliant on third‑party digital suppliers for clinical systems, cloud services, medical devices and data processing functions which, while all essential to service delivery, these bring cyber, data protection and operational risks that HDUHB must identify, assess and actively manage.
