As a consequence of the Blaenavon data centre exit, undertaking a procurement at this point with the possibility of buying an alternative data centre for Newport data centre DC2 introduce considerable additional risk given that exit/transition arrangements are currently in process in respect of the Blaenavon Data Centre. Conducting the transition and migration of both data centres at the same time would severely impact the provision of critical services to NHS Wales during the transition period, putting significant pressure not only on the 3rd party suppliers but also on NWIS resources."
