Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust procured a software developer solution known as WASP. The requirement covers IT software development services (CPV 72212517), intended to provide software development capability for the Trust. Delivery is associated with the Trust’s operations in the WD18 0HB area of Watford, England. The buying organisation is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust, based at Gate House, Fretherne Road, Welwyn Garden City. The procurement is described as a goods purchase in the published classification, although the specific requirement is a software development service. The supplier selected was Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, a large organisation. The opportunity was procured through the NOE CPC Total Technology Solutions Framework.

This completed procurement was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender deadline was 28 July 2025 at 12:00. Two active awards are recorded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd. The first award was made on 31 July 2025, valued at £120,000, for a contract running from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026. A second award, also made on 31 July 2025 and valued at £120,000, covers the period from 26 February 2026 to 25 February 2029. The published tender estimate was £120,000. The available evaluation information identifies the framework call-off route; no separate quality, price or technical weighting is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates recurring NHS demand for outsourced software development capability supporting a named hospital trust. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable software development expertise, the capacity to support a substantial public-sector healthcare organisation, and the ability to deliver services over a multi-year period. The route to market is particularly important: suppliers would need access to, or a position within, the relevant NOE CPC Total Technology Solutions Framework and the capability to compete through its call-off arrangements. The incumbent’s recorded scale indicates that the buyer has used a large supplier, so bidders should be able to evidence organisational capacity, robust service delivery and experience of working in a regulated NHS environment.
