Description:

Hywel Dda Health Board ("HDUHB") has awarded a contract for the provision of Forcepoint Licences across the Health Board. This contract renewal provides software licences that assist with supplying policies to secure access to internet websites for each member of staff within the Health Board. The solution is pivotal for the Digital Services team particular with regards to Cyber Security as it facilitates the evolution of their armoury in attempting to combat external threats to digital systems. The licence limits the exposure staff within HDUHB have to unsecured websites, typically used to enable Cyber-attacks and expose Health Board systems which could have detrimental impacts of key clinical platforms and therefore patient care. The National Procurement Service (NPS) IT Products and Services (ii) framework agreement (NPS-ICT-0094-19) is compliant with UK/EU procurement legislation and provides a compliant route to source software, licencing and cloud services/products including open source or off the shelf, along with associated services, such as design, integration, asset management and training. This framework includes several potential providers who have achieved inclusion on the framework following a qualification process and procurement approached a supplier with links to the Welsh economy.
