Summary of the contracting process

Velindre University NHS Trust procured uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units to protect critical infrastructure at the new Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff. This is a supply contract for power-protection equipment used to keep essential systems running during interruptions to mains electricity. The procurement was managed through NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership. The stated delivery location is the Trust’s cancer centre; the contract description says the equipment supports its critical infrastructure. This is a focused requirement for UPS hardware rather than a general IT or software project.

The procurement is complete and the contract was signed on 12 October 2026. CDW Limited was named as the supplier for this requirement, with a contract value of £79,072.80. The estimated contract period is 36 months, with an extension option described as up to 12 months. It was a single-lot purchase, evaluated on price, and the planned route was a direct award through the NHS Shared Business Services Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework to enable timely delivery. The published submission deadline was 10 January 2025. The contracting data also contains an original estimated value of £2.5 billion, which conflicts markedly with the specific signed contract value.

This award demonstrates demand from Velindre University NHS Trust for UPS equipment to support critical infrastructure at its cancer centre. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be able to source and supply UPS units suitable for essential healthcare systems and deliver them to the Trust’s site in Cardiff. The buyer used an NHS framework route, so framework access and the ability to transact through an applicable public-sector purchasing arrangement would be commercially relevant. The award was made on price, making competitive pricing important. The procurement does not describe technical specifications, required accreditations, installation, maintenance or service levels, so no further capability requirement can be inferred.
