Softcat and Insight lead way on £800m Welsh IT deal
Official list of winners announced
Softcat and Insight have won a place on 10 out of 12 lots of an £800m Welsh public sector IT deal.
The IT Products and Services Framework was set up by the National Procurement Service (NPS) - part of the Welsh Government - with the aim of delivering value for money from the procurement of goods and services.
A wide range of IT products and services will be procured from the framework, including common off-the-shelf (COTS) software, software licences (corporate and education), software asset management, corporate and educational hardware and AV equipment.
The framework was divided into 12 Lots and will be worth £800m over its lifetime.
