Summary of the contracting process

NHS England recently concluded a procurement process titled "Hack the Box," focused on software package and information systems. This process falls under the CPV classification 48000000 and was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. Located in Leeds, this procurement, with a contract value of £30,936.86, encompasses multiple delivery locations, including the United Kingdom and various international territories. The award stage has been completed with Phoenix Software Limited being the supplier. Key dates include the tender period end date of 9th September 2025 and the contract period from 18th November 2025 to 17th November 2028.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for established large-scale enterprises in the software and information systems sector. Although the process was selective, businesses already part of the relevant framework agreements stand at an advantage for similar future tenders. Companies capable of developing or providing pen test tools might find such procurements within NHS England beneficial, as it suggests a continuous demand for specialised software systems within healthcare settings. Leveraging such contracts can potentially lead to long-term partnerships and further opportunities within the public sector.
