Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured CloudCare for AWS, a managed cloud service for operating and hosting web-based systems. The requirement is classified as worldwide web site operation and hosting services, placing it within specialist cloud infrastructure, hosting and managed IT services rather than general software development. Delivery is associated with Nottingham, including the Trust’s Edwards Lane site, and the wider East Midlands. The buying organisation is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. The service supports the Trust’s use of Amazon Web Services and requires a supplier able to provide ongoing operational management of that cloud environment and its hosted services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed at 12:00 on 31 March 2025. The award was made on 1 April 2025 to CDW LIMITED for £401,956.54 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period ran from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The procurement was for services, with no lots identified. The Trust marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The recorded outcome is an active award to CDW LIMITED.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for a substantial managed AWS and web-hosting service delivered through a framework call-off. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements for this buyer would need established capability in Amazon Web Services operations, cloud service management, website and application hosting, monitoring, resilience, security and service support. Credibility would also depend on the capacity to manage a sizeable NHS environment reliably, maintain operational continuity and work within public-sector governance and service-management requirements. The buyer’s recorded assessment that the opportunity was unsuitable for SMEs indicates that scale, organisational capacity and an established framework route were important commercial factors.
