## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust located in Cardiff, has completed a contract process for the procurement of IP5 Network Switches. The industry category is classified under Health, and the delivery location is specified to be within the UK region, notably UKL. The procurement stage is at the award and contract phase, with Insight Network Solutions from Sheffield being appointed as the supplier under a direct award procedure without prior publication, following a value for money assessment via a framework. The contract, valued at £35,744.82, was signed on 5th September 2025.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying network hardware solutions, particularly larger companies like Insight Network Solutions, which can efficiently navigate and benefit from frameworks such as the CCS Framework RM6098. Businesses that can offer competitive pricing within the health sector will find this contract advantageous, especially those that can fulfil the demands of large-scale local health boards like NHS Wales. Given the nature of the limited procurement method, businesses with a prior track record and capability to undertake such projects stand a better chance of suitability.
