Summary of the contracting process

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board sought desktop computers and related IT products through a wider Welsh Government Commercial Delivery framework. The hardware requirement describes compact desktop PCs running Windows 11, with at least 16GB memory, 512GB SSD storage, integrated graphics and networking, and UK English keyboard and mouse; either an AMD Ryzen 5 or Intel Core i5 configuration was acceptable. The wider framework also covers software licences and cloud services with deployment and management, audiovisual equipment and support, multifunction printers and print solutions, and integrated hardware and software services. The work is intended for delivery across Wales. The hardware lot was aimed at suppliers serving medium to large organisations through the framework’s relevant category.

The framework procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded. It used a restricted procedure and a further competition under the Welsh Government Commercial Division framework. The original competition closed on 29 April 2025. Framework contracts were signed on 27 March 2026 and have a stated duration of 1,440 days; no end date is recorded. The wider framework lists a value of £200,000,000, but this is not a separately stated value for each awarded lot. The hardware lot has multiple suppliers, including Centerprise International, Phoenix Software, Probrand, CDW, CAE Technology Services, Dell, Computacenter, HP, Insight, Ricoh, Softcat, Sync, Trustmarque, Ultima and XMA. Its criteria weighted price at 80% and technical quality at 20%. Separate hardware contracts were later signed with Centerprise International for £272,428.68 on 25 September 2026 and £227,760 on 8 October 2026.

This requirement is most relevant to IT hardware resellers and integrators able to source and supply business-grade compact desktops at scale, meet the specified Windows, processor, memory, storage, connectivity and peripheral requirements, and compete on price while demonstrating technical compliance. Suppliers serving medium to large organisations were the intended market for the hardware framework category. The route was a further competition among framework suppliers rather than an unrestricted standalone purchase, so framework access and the ability to respond to competitive call-offs are important capabilities. Awarded suppliers range from SMEs to large businesses, showing that the supplier pool was not limited to the largest firms. A credible competitor would need dependable product sourcing and fulfilment across Wales, plus the commercial capacity to support a health board’s desktop requirements through a multi-year framework arrangement.
