Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for Kahootz Licences, initiated by NHS England, has reached the award stage as of 18th June 2026. This tender falls under the industry category of software package and information systems, with a contract value of £2,424,875. It involves the provision of Kahootz Licences and is situated in Leeds, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract is set to run from 5th June 2026 to 4th June 2028. Although the initial tender period ended on 8th May 2026, the award notice was published on 18th June 2026. NHS England, located at Wellington Place in Leeds, serves as the buyer for this procurement.

This opportunity presents growth potential for businesses experienced in delivering software solutions. Although the contract was awarded to INOVEM LIMITED trading as Kahootz, companies specialising in software package solutions might be well-suited for similar future tenders from NHS England. The procurement process favoured suppliers capable of leveraging existing framework agreements, thereby streamlining the procurement outcomes for the buyer. Such opportunities are generally more suited to established businesses with capabilities to fulfil significant contracts within the public sector without consideration for SME or VCSE status. Suppliers with the necessary scale and delivery capacity might find such contracts advantageous for expanding their footprint within the public sector's software and information systems arena.
