Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited is procuring services to provide open-space room sensors and carry out utilisation studies. The requirement is intended to support understanding of how open rooms and workplace areas are used, combining sensor technology with analysis of utilisation. It is classified as software packages and information systems, but the main procurement category is services, so relevant suppliers may provide a managed technology and consultancy service rather than software alone. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is associated with the SBS10510 Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework. This is a national NHS property and workplace requirement, relevant to providers of occupancy sensing, workplace analytics, room-use monitoring, smart-building technology and related implementation or study services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with a tender submission deadline of 16 July 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Softcat PLC for £750,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. The award is active. The published procurement value and the awarded value are both £750,000. The available information identifies the service scope and framework route, but does not set out a separate quality, price or other scoring breakdown.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for workplace sensing and utilisation analysis delivered through a public-sector framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to combine reliable open-space room sensors with the ability to collect, manage and interpret occupancy or room-use data. It would also need to turn monitoring into practical utilisation studies that help a property organisation understand space demand and make workplace decisions. Relevant strengths include experience of deploying technology across multiple sites, integrating sensor outputs into digital workplace or information systems, producing clear analytical reports, and managing delivery for a large public-sector property estate. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs, so specialist technology or analytics firms may be well placed where they can meet framework and NHS delivery requirements.
