What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionCardiff and Vale University Health Board (CAVUHB) provides health services to a population of around 472,400 people living within Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
To ensure the smooth running of CAVUHB's operations, they require Surveying and Maintenance of the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS). This ensures continued supply of power for life serving support such as critical care beds, theatres, x-ray, CT scanners and emergency lighting in the case of emergency.
