## Summary

Hywel Dda University Health Board awarded a renewal of its Rubrik software portfolio, bringing existing licences together in one agreement. The software supports backup and recovery, cyber resilience, data protection and security monitoring. It provides immutable backups, rapid recovery and ransomware detection, and protects sensitive clinical and corporate data, including confidential patient information. The Health Board uses it to maintain service continuity following cyber incidents, system failures or malicious attacks. The requirement was managed by the Health Board’s Digital Directorate and is part of its wider cyber security and data protection work. The buying organisation is based in Carmarthen, and the software supports use across the Health Board’s organisation rather than a single delivery site.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Softcat Plc was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 1 October 2026 for £2,386,529.20. The published information gives no separate contract end date or duration. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice, through the Welsh Government Commercial Delivery framework for IT products and services, software lot, by further competition. The award criteria were price (60%), technical quality (30%) and social value (10%). The lot is marked cancelled in the tender data, while the award and contract are recorded as active; the contracting outcome is therefore the award to Softcat and an active contract.

This award shows demand from a large health board for an integrated software licensing arrangement spanning backup, recovery, cyber resilience, data protection and security monitoring. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate that its technology can protect highly sensitive clinical and corporate information, provide immutable backups and rapid recovery, detect ransomware, and support continuity of services during cyber incidents or system failures. Suppliers should be able to bring the relevant software portfolio together under a co-termed agreement and meet the operational needs of a health organisation using the solution across its services. The route used here was a further competition under a Welsh Government framework, so experience supplying software through public-sector frameworks, alongside strong technical and social-value submissions and competitive pricing, would be relevant.
