## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, part of Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed a procurement process for a maintenance contract related to the E-Quip asset database licence in the services category, specifically focusing on repair and maintenance services. The contract is integral to the operations of the Hywel Dda University Health Board, located in the UK. The procurement was awarded on 20th March 2026 to Specialist Computer Centres PLC and is governed by the NHS SBS – Digital Workplace Solutions 2 Framework, without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the bespoke nature of the system being supported. This process falls outside the typical directive scope, ensuring the medical equipment management is in compliance with regulatory standards.

The awarded contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in software support and maintenance services for healthcare systems. Given the specialised requirements, companies with expertise in medical asset management systems, particularly those able to deliver OEM support, are well-suited to engage with such public procurement contracts. As Specialist Computer Centres PLC has demonstrated, having a niche capability in maintaining and upgrading proprietary systems for health boards could ensure sustained business growth via public sector procurement channels. This contract reaffirms the importance of establishing frameworks for seamless integration and maintenance of critical health IT infrastructure.
