Summary of the contracting process

London Ambulance Service procured a subscription to SolarWinds software for network and infrastructure monitoring. This is an IT software supply requirement: the subscription supports monitoring the organisation’s network and infrastructure. Delivery is associated with London Ambulance Service in London, at its Waterloo Road address. The procurement was described as a call-off contract under the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions framework, rather than a standalone purchase. The requirement is for the software subscription itself; no separate implementation, support or other service scope is described.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BOXXE LIMITED on 28 July 2026. The awarded value is £362,500. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, for a fixed three-year term. It was a selective procurement made as a call-off from the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions framework. The estimated tender value was also £362,500. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026. The requirement was presented as a single call-off, with no lot breakdown. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as unsuitable. No award evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details.

For suppliers who did not win, this award indicates that London Ambulance Service buys a multi-year SolarWinds subscription for monitoring its network and infrastructure through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solutions framework. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply the relevant SolarWinds subscription and be able to meet a fixed-term public-sector software contract at substantial scale. Access to the framework route is commercially important: this was a framework call-off, not an open standalone competition. The successful supplier was identified as a large company, and the procurement marked SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as unsuitable. These details point to a requirement best matched to an established software reseller or supplier with the capacity to support a sizeable subscription and participate in the relevant framework.
