## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured Sophos anti-virus software for delivery in Wales. This is a software supply requirement, classified under networking and internet software (CPV 48200000). The requirement was grouped as one lot and described as Sophos Anti Virus. The procurement was managed for the Welsh health service; the delivery location is identified with Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. The purchase concerns a named commercial anti-virus product rather than a broader software development or managed security service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CDW Limited following a limited procedure without a published competition. The stated rationale was that Sophos supplies through partner CDW rather than contracting directly with customers, and that technical reasons meant only one economic operator could provide the goods. Price was the stated award criterion. One bid was received. The recorded award is active; the related lot is marked cancelled. The contract is also recorded as active and was signed on 14 July 2026. Its value is £45,500. The award record separately reports £37,000 for subcontracting. No contract period or award date is recorded.

For suppliers preparing to compete for a comparable anti-virus requirement from this NHS Wales procurement service, credibility would depend on being able to supply the specified Sophos product through an authorised route, with the necessary supplier relationship and fulfilment capability. This procurement shows a tightly specified, single-product software purchase rather than a broad cyber-security services package. The recorded route relied on CDW as Sophos’s procurement partner and cited technical exclusivity, so a prospective competitor would need to demonstrate a viable route to the required product and address any equivalent technical justification. The one recorded bid indicates that this purchase attracted limited competition, but it does not establish that future competitions will use the same procedure or supplier arrangement.
