Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran procured servers and storage for the Clinisys ICE system, classified under CPV 48821000 for computer servers. The requirement covers the supply of IT hardware and associated storage supporting the health board’s Clinisys ICE service. Delivery and use are across Ayrshire and Arran. The buying organisation is NHS Ayrshire & Arran, a public-sector health body serving the area. This is a focused technology supply requirement rather than a general IT services contract: businesses should be able to provide compatible server infrastructure and storage for a clinical information environment, with the capability to support deployment across the health board’s operational locations. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, so suppliers would need to address the complete server and storage package rather than compete for separate workstreams.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. HFD Datavita Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract value is £114,643.76 including the stated currency of GBP, and it was signed on 27 August 2026. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, making a direct award from the Cloud Services Framework, reference SP-22-023. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically, and the procurement record shows the tender as complete. The procedure was treated as outside the scope of the applicable directive and covered by the GPA. The contract has no options. The published outcome therefore records a completed direct-award route rather than an open competition, with HFD Datavita Limited appointed to supply the Clinisys ICE servers and storage.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award shows that NHS Ayrshire & Arran buys specialist server and storage infrastructure to support a clinical information system, at a scale requiring a substantial but focused technology package. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability in supplying compatible servers and storage for Clinisys ICE or comparable healthcare applications, together with the technical assurance to support resilient clinical operations across Ayrshire and Arran. Experience of public-sector health customers and a route to market through an appropriate cloud services framework would be important. The single-bid outcome also indicates that framework access, recognised specialist capability and the ability to deliver the complete requirement may be decisive when this buyer next reviews similar infrastructure needs.
