## Summary

The procurement process for the purchase of laptop carts and charging cabinets was conducted by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. This tender falls under the goods category within the healthcare industry and is intended to support the ongoing rollout and implementation of the Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (ePMA) system across Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. This award process was completed on 27th March 2026, following a procurement method that involved awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £65,515.74, was signed on 25th February 2026 and awarded to CDW Limited, ensuring compatibility and standardisation with existing ePMA hardware.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in technology and healthcare equipment to expand their footprint within the healthcare sector. While the specific procurement method favoured CDW Limited due to standardisation requirements, similar opportunities may arise for suppliers capable of providing reliable and compatible healthcare IT solutions. Companies with existing relationships, partnerships with public health authorities, or expertise in customising IT hardware for medical environments can strategically position themselves to benefit from future procurements, especially those involving capital funding from governmental sources. Such opportunities encourage the growth of technology-focused businesses and foster innovation within the healthcare field, thereby benefiting both suppliers and the health board's digital transformation efforts.

## Notice

n 2023, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board undertook a procurement exercise to implement an Electronic Prescribing and Medicines Administration (ePMA) system. This enabled the digitalisation of paper-based drug charts across the Health Board, supporting safer medicines administration and providing a fully auditable end-to-end record from pharmacist verification through to nurse administration. In February 2025, utilising capital funding received from Welsh Government, the Health Board invested in the outright purchase of hardware to meet the current and anticipated future requirements of the ePMA programme. To support usability and ward-based workflows, laptop carts were introduced to house computer hardware and facilitate the secure transportation of medicines, improving the efficiency of medicines rounds and administration. Funding has been approved within the 2025/26 ePMA Capital Budget to procure additional carts and charging cabinets to support the ongoing roll-out and implementation of the programme. As a revised implementation date has now been confirmed, there is a requirement to secure further carts and laptops to meet the updated deployment plan. The capital budget has allocated funding for this additional requirement, and the procurement will be undertaken via CDW Limited to maintain standardisation of equipment across the Health Board and ensure compatibility with the established ePMA hardware solution.
