## Summary

NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, procured Palo Alto Networks firewall equipment for Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. The firewalls are intended to protect the Health Board’s systems and data, with high-performance security, scalability and resilience for enterprise, data centre and internet gateway environments. This is a goods requirement for networking and internet security software and equipment. The procurement covers one lot, with delivery associated with the Health Board in Wales. The stated requirement is specifically for Palo Alto Networks firewalls; it is not a general purchase of networking equipment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CDW Limited. The contract is active and was signed on 16 July 2026, at a value of £76,627. One bid was recorded. The buyer used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, citing technical compatibility requirements and stating that only an authorised Palo Alto supplier could fulfil the requirement. Price was the stated award criterion. The procurement comprised one lot, although that lot is marked cancelled in the tender information; the award and contract are recorded as active. No award date or contract duration is stated in the available process details.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from this buyer, the key commercial fit is demonstrable capability to supply Palo Alto Networks firewalls and meet the Health Board’s technical compatibility needs. Suppliers would need to be authorised to supply Palo Alto products, since the procurement rationale says the requirement could only be fulfilled by an authorised Palo Alto supplier. Relevant delivery experience should cover enterprise, data centre and internet gateway environments, including high-performance security, scalability and resilience for systems and data protection. This was a focused, single-lot equipment purchase rather than a broad networking services requirement. The recorded outcome shows that price was the evaluation basis and that a single bid was received.
