The requirement is a two-year warranty service for server hardware, intended to maintain coverage and avoid increased costs from the incumbent supplier. It is classified primarily as database services (CPV 72320000), with associated maintenance of data network equipment (CPV 50312310). This is a public-sector technology support requirement rather than a purchase of new hardware. Suppliers relevant to this opportunity would provide warranty support for server infrastructure, including maintenance and the associated service management needed to keep equipment covered across the buyer’s operational sites. The procurement is complete and has resulted in an active award and contract. It used a limited procedure: a direct award through NHS Shared Business Services’ Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 with Dell for £32,437.07 including the stated contract value currency of GBP. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. Evaluation was based on technical quality at 40% and cost at 60%. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and the procurement was conducted through a compliant framework route to address the buyer’s server warranty requirement. This award indicates established demand from Public Health Wales for structured warranty coverage and maintenance of server hardware and related data network equipment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in supporting server infrastructure, administering manufacturer-backed or equivalent warranty services, and maintaining service continuity across multiple public-sector operational sites. Experience with framework-based public procurement and direct-award or call-off routes would be relevant, as would the ability to provide clear technical assurance alongside competitive pricing. The evaluation balance shows that cost mattered most, but technical quality remained a substantial part of the decision. Suppliers able to combine dependable infrastructure support with proportionate delivery capacity would be well placed. ## Notice Public Health Wales (PHW) are looking to establish server hardware warranty coverage for the next two (2) years via a compliant route to market. With a price increase being imposed from the 1st August 2026 with the incumbent supplier, there is a need to establish a contract prior to this increase to mitigate any cost pressures for the Trust. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Public Health Wales (PHW) are looking to establish server hardware warranty coverage for the next two (2) years via a compliant route to market.
