Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services is procuring new tablet devices for NWSSP. The tablets are intended to replace ageing hardware, reduce downtime from equipment failures and improve staff productivity. They must support current software and security updates, remote and flexible working, data protection and continued service delivery. This is a hardware supply requirement (CPV 44316400), with delivery at Culham Campus. The procurement is associated with the UK Atomic Energy Authority site at Culham in Oxfordshire, although the named buying organisation is NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. Businesses suited to this opportunity are suppliers of new enterprise tablet devices able to provide compatible, secure equipment for organisational use.

The procurement has been awarded through a direct award under the CCS RM6098 Technology Products & Associated Services 2 framework, following a further competition route. It used a restricted procedure and the single lot was evaluated on price alone. The tablet award was made to Dell Corporation Ltd, with a contract value of £36,666, signed on 18 December 2025. The planned contract period runs from 29 August 2024 to 28 August 2027. The compiled process also records earlier awards connected to the same lot: Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, BT PLC, Insight Direct UK, Dell Corporation Ltd and European Electronique. The lot itself is marked cancelled, while the recorded awards and associated contracts are active.

This procurement demonstrates demand for replacement tablet hardware supporting secure, flexible working in a public-sector environment. A credible future competitor would need to supply new devices at enterprise scale, maintain compatibility with current software and security updates, and show that its products can reduce equipment failure and operational downtime. The requirement favours suppliers able to support organisational deployment rather than consumer-only sales, with reliable fulfilment to a specialist public-sector site. The process attracted four electronic bids, including one non-EU bid, but recorded no SME bids, and the award was based entirely on price. Businesses considering similar work should therefore combine competitive hardware pricing with dependable supply, technical compatibility and the capacity to serve public-sector operational requirements.
