Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured computer equipment and supplies for the health service. The requirement was to supply and configure bespoke hardware needed to implement an electronic prescribing and medicines administration system across all Aneurin Bevan University Health Board hospital sites. The equipment was intended to work with existing infrastructure and support continuity of service. Delivery was to take place at the health board’s hospital sites. This is a goods requirement rather than a construction or professional services contract, and is relevant to suppliers of healthcare technology hardware, systems-compatible computing equipment, configuration services and related implementation support.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage and the tender is complete. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justified on technical grounds because the requirement was considered deliverable by only one economic operator and needed compatibility with existing infrastructure. The requirement was evaluated on price. Two electronic bids were recorded, with no SME bids. Insight Direct (UK) Ltd was awarded the contract, and the contract was signed on 17 June 2026. The contract value is £281,351. The award includes subcontracting for bespoke hardware valued at £272,000, representing 95% of the awarded subcontracted value. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and contract are published against it.

This procurement indicates demand from NHS Wales for bespoke computing hardware that supports electronic prescribing and medicines administration across multiple hospital sites. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to demonstrate that their hardware can integrate with established health-service infrastructure, meet detailed technical and operational requirements, and support continuity during implementation. Credibility would also depend on the ability to supply and configure equipment at several sites, manage a substantial hardware deployment, and provide assurance around compatibility and service reliability. The published outcome shows a procurement involving a large supplier and a high proportion of subcontracted bespoke-hardware work, so businesses with specialist manufacturing or hardware-delivery capability may be relevant as prime contractors or subcontractors, provided they can meet the buyer’s technical requirements.
