Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust procured a one-year Knox Suite Enterprise Plan, a software-related purchase for digital workplace use. The requirement was for the Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City, and delivery is associated with Stevenage (SG1 4AB) in the United Kingdom. The procurement description identifies the product as Knox Suite Enterprise Plan and places the purchase within the Trust’s digital workplace arrangements. This is a goods procurement rather than a request for software development or general IT support. The purchasing organisation is the NHS Trust; the selected supplier is described separately in the outcome. The requirement therefore best fits suppliers able to provide the specified enterprise software plan and support its deployment or supply in a healthcare organisation’s workplace environment.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust awarded the contract to BOXXE LIMITED on 6 October 2026, for £69,000. The contract period runs from 22 October 2026 to 21 October 2027. The estimated procurement range was £65,000 to £69,000. The Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from the SBS Framework Digital Workplace Solutions 2 (SBS10510), rather than running a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information gives no separate scoring breakdown; the selected offer was for the Knox Suite Enterprise Plan under the framework call-off.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows that East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust buys enterprise workplace software through the Digital Workplace Solutions 2 framework, using a call-off route. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need access to the relevant framework route and the ability to supply the Knox Suite Enterprise Plan at enterprise scale. Experience serving NHS or other complex healthcare organisations, with dependable software provisioning and implementation for a workforce environment, would be commercially relevant. The award went to a large supplier, and the Trust did not identify the requirement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises; suppliers should therefore assess whether they can meet the buyer’s scale and framework conditions. The requirement is specifically for this software plan, not broad digital workplace consultancy.
