Summary of the contracting process

Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured a room booking system, classified as an IT software package (CPV 48517000). The requirement is categorised as a service and is for use at the Trust’s site in Coventry, West Midlands. The system is intended to support the Trust’s room-booking needs. The buyer is a NHS foundation trust based in Coventry. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement could be delivered by an appropriately resourced specialist software provider rather than only by a large technology company. The selected supplier, Severnsoft trading as Essential Computing, is itself recorded as an SME and is based in Clevedon, North Somerset.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Severnsoft trading as Essential Computing was awarded the contract on 15 September 2026. The award value is £245,463. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender’s upper estimated value was £245,000. The tender record shows a submission deadline of 15 September 2026 at 12:00, before the award was recorded. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one room-booking-system requirement. The award is active, and the contracting authority is Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; no separate award weighting or scoring basis is recorded in the available process information.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award is evidence of demand from an NHS foundation trust for a dedicated room-booking system delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven room-booking software product, the technical capability to configure and deploy it for a public healthcare organisation, and sufficient delivery capacity to support a multi-year contract. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that this scale of requirement can be addressed by a smaller specialist technology business. Firms should therefore assess their framework access, public-sector procurement route, relevant software references and ability to provide reliable implementation and ongoing service for an NHS trust. The requirement is specific to room-booking technology, rather than general IT supply.
