Summary of the contracting process

The Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust has completed a tender process for the "VPN Resilience Implementation" project under the IT Enterprise Solutions Framework. The contract, awarded to Softcat Plc, has a total value of £554,989.69 and spans from 21 February 2022 to 21 February 2027. This selective procurement process involved a further competition within the framework, with the tender period officially ending on 26 January 2022. The project is classified under IT services, specifically consulting, software development, and Internet support, with delivery taking place in Brighton, United Kingdom (postal code BN2 3EW).

This contract presents significant opportunities for IT service providers looking to expand their business within the healthcare sector, particularly those offering consulting or software development solutions. Companies with expertise in building robust IT infrastructures or resilience strategies would be well-positioned to engage in similar future tenders. Given the nature of the project and the selected procurement method, larger firms, like Softcat Plc, may have an advantage, but smaller firms with specialised knowledge should also consider participating in such contracts under competitive frameworks.
