Response

I refer to your freedom of information request that we received on 03 November 2022. I can advise you that we have now completed the search of our records and can provide you with the following information:

Could you please advise details on the below (NP76316 Mobile Voice & Data Services): • Total spend against this contract to date

The average annual spend for this contract is circa £1.8m. The contract is currently in year 7, so for the first 6 years the total would be circa £10.8m. These figures are currently estimates as the supplier is collating total figures in advance of the re-tender process commencing in December.

• Total monthly spend on this contract for past 6 months (including usage for both airtime and data)

The 6 month average spend is circa £900k. Please see response to the question above as to why this is an estimated spend.

• Current number of connections on this contract

Total number of connections is currently circa 68,300. Health Boards and suppliers are conducting a review process post Covid-19 and this number may reduce as a result.

I trust you will find the information of assistance and if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

If you are unhappy with any aspect of how we have dealt with your request, you can make representations to us asking us to review the handling of your request.

If you require any further information, please write to the Head of Information and Cyber Security, Digital and Security, within 40 working days of the date of this correspondence.
