The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract awarded to Cardiff University, which provides the necessary hosting services for the CLIMB servers as a critical component in pathogen genomics. The procurement process was classified under services, utilising a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract value amounts to GBP 148,000, with the contract being signed on 27th February 2024. This procurement tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT infrastructure and server hosting, particularly those experienced in the healthcare sector. Companies able to meet high service reliability and support requirements may find such contracts beneficial for growth, as they entail ongoing server maintenance and replacement services. Large-scale businesses, such as those capable of handling significant IT and genomics data processing, would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders, given their need to comply with the stringent requirements set by public health entities like Public Health Wales. ## Notice When Pathogen Genomics was first introduced the only viable option was using the 'CLIMB' servers, which were paid for by Welsh Government, and hosted by Cardiff University.
