What is being bought

Published requirement description

The New Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) requires a

resilient and diverse telecommunications

infrastructure to support critical clinical, operational

and digital services. The existing design includes

fibre connectivity entering the site from the north;

however, to provide full route diversity and

minimise the risk of service interruption, an

additional fibre route is required from the south of

the site

Published justification

The decision to award BT via the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA) framework was made on the basis that PSBA has been established and endorsed by the Welsh Government for use across the Welsh public sector. The framework provides a compliant, efficient, and streamlined route to market, reducing the need for a separate procurement exercise while ensuring value for money and consistency of service provision. As BT is the contracted supplier within the PSBA arrangement, utilising this existing framework allows organisations to access services quickly and with confidence, benefiting from the governance, commercial arrangements, and procurement assurances already put in place by the Welsh Government.
