Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured the Sisense business intelligence (BI) platform for Open Space, as a technology service. The requirement is for provision of the platform; the procurement description does not set out further functionality, implementation or support tasks. Delivery is stated as being in England. NHS Property Services is based in Stockport, and the selected supplier, Softcat PLC, is based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. The procurement is classified as an IT software package (CPV 48517000), although its main category is services. This is a software-platform requirement rather than a general-purpose IT supply or works contract, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to provide Sisense BI for the buyer’s Open Space use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Softcat PLC on 15 April 2026. The award value is £249,616.95. The contract period runs from 16 April 2026 to 15 April 2031. The buyer used a direct award through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solution 2 framework, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The recorded tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 17:00. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are recorded, so the award outcome cannot be linked to a stated price-quality weighting or technical assessment. There were no lots recorded; the award and value relate to the single stated requirement for the platform.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that NHS Property Services buys a business intelligence platform for its Open Space use through the NHS SBS Digital Workplace Solution 2 framework. A credible competitor would need to supply Sisense BI and be able to transact through the relevant framework route; the chosen supplier was Softcat PLC, a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this scale of platform supply was delivered by an SME. Businesses focused only on unrelated software, broad digital workplace services or implementation work should note that the stated requirement is specifically platform provision, with no additional delivery tasks described. The award provides a buyer-specific reference point for the type of BI software and framework route used, rather than evidence of a wider software or analytics requirement.
