## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, recently completed the procurement process for "IP5 Network Switches," classified under the hardware industry category. The main procurement category was goods, and this process was facilitated through a direct award under the CCS Framework RM6098. This award procedure was conducted without the prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the scope of the directive. The contract, valued at £35,744.82, was signed on 5th September 2025. The procurement was regionally focused within the UK, specifically Wales, with Cardiff as a central location.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in hardware products, particularly those capable of competitively supplying the public health sector. Organisations like large-scale suppliers, similar to Insight Network Solutions, which was awarded the contract, may find opportunities by assessing value through established frameworks. Although the procurement method was limited, indicating avenues for larger entities already familiar with such frameworks, businesses aiming to grow their footprint within public health procurement might consider focusing on value propositions and compliance with established procedures to increase their likelihood of competing effectively in future opportunities.
