## Summary

The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust, has completed the Citrix Hardware Replacement procurement process within the Health industry category. The project aims to upgrade the existing Dell PowerEdge Servers and Pure Storage systems at Glangwili General Hospital and Withybush General Hospital in Cardiff by introducing Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure for enhanced resilience. The procurement method chosen was limited, through a mini competition utilising the National Procurement Service (NPS) Wales Framework for IT Products and Services Lot 5 Solutions. The contract was awarded on 30th January 2026, and the procurement aligns with hardware and licensing agreements set to expire by October 2030, ensuring continuity and standardisation in IT systems management.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale technology firms specialising in hyperconverged infrastructure systems like Nutanix, offering them the chance to engage with the NHS Wales Procurement Services. Businesses that are capable of providing comprehensive solutions integrating compute, storage, and virtualisation can benefit from this contract by demonstrating technical expertise and delivering simplified management solutions. Moreover, companies that participated in frameworks similar to NPS Wales will find themselves in favourable positions to compete, as demonstrated by the successful involvement of SOFTCAT PLC, reinforcing their capability in handling substantial upgrades within healthcare settings.

## Notice

Hywel Dda University Health Board (HDUHB) have awarded a contract to replace their existing Citrix hypervisor hardware which is no longer supported by vendors for component replacements or security updates which means in the event of a system failure, there is no assurance that recovery could be achieved promptly; this includes Dell PowerEdge Servers and Pure Storage within the data centres at Glangwili General Hospital (GGH) and Withybush General Hospital (WGH). The requirement is to facilitate a technology refresh and upgrade by replacing Dell and Pure Storage hardware with Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) which integrates compute, storage, and virtualisation into a single platform, simplifying management, whilst supporting the data centre team's skillset to avoid retraining on multiple platforms. The contract term aligns with the contract relating to the data centres hardware and licencing which is due to expire at the end of October 2030. By standardising on Nutanix, HDUHB reduces the complexity of their environment and improves resilience.
