Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for the "PAHT - Rubrik/Epaton Backup Solution" under the NHS SBS Framework. This contract, classified under software-related services (CPV code: 72260000), has been awarded through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to BOXXE LIMITED on 1st May 2026, with the contract running from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2029, and is valued at £385,000. The procurement is focused on goods and involves delivery within the United Kingdom, specifically targeting postal code CM20 1QX.

This tender opens up opportunities for businesses specialising in software-related services, particularly those with experience in providing backup solutions. While the framework limits participation to pre-selected suppliers, larger-scale enterprises like BOXXE LIMITED can find such tenders advantageous for securing government contracts without undergoing the typical full competitive process. This could be particularly beneficial for businesses that are already part of or can join relevant frameworks, enabling them to leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolio and establish a strong foothold in the public healthcare sector.
