Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) has completed the procurement process for Microsoft N365 Software, awarding the contract to Bytes Software Services Limited on behalf of the NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board. This procurement was conducted through an aggregated further competition, utilising the Crown Commercial Service's Framework RM6098 Technology Products & Associated Services 2, specifically Lot 3: Software and Associated Services. The contractual agreement, valued at £2,659,271.71, will span from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2030. The industry category is software package and information systems, with the scope of delivery identified within England, United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a targeted competitive process rather than open tendering.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for Bytes Software Services Limited to enhance its presence in the public sector, particularly within the healthcare industry. Given the specific nature of the software procurement, businesses in the technology sector specialising in software solutions and services could find similar opportunities for growth by aligning with public sector needs and frameworks like RM6098. While this particular contract is not suitable for SMEs or VCSE organisations due to its scale and selective methodology, larger businesses can still leverage frameworks to access potential future tenders within the NHS and related public health sectors. This association with high-value public health contracts can drive business scalability and credibility, especially for large-scale suppliers proficient in tailoring software to meet governmental needs.
