All procurement for Health Boards/Trusts within NHS Wales is managed by NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership and they may hold the data you require.  For  your convenience I have provided the link:  shared.services@wales.nhs.uk

Please note that this information is for Public Health Wales only and not NHS Wales. 

It is important to note that Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. This is NOT the same as NHS Wales. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and frequently do not have access to the data that they produce.
