Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has awarded a contract for the renewal of Optimal Work Shop, a tool for User Research, under CPV classification 72000000 (IT services: consulting, software development, Internet, and support).

The project involves 18 seat licences required for NHS UK, Pathways, Spine Core Platforms Directorate, and COVID-19 National Booking System teams. The contract commenced on 1st March 2024 and will end on 28th February 2025, with the total value amounting to £24,869.47 GBP. The primary delivery location is Leeds (LS1 6AE) but extends to various regions including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in IT services, particularly those focusing on software development, consultancy, and user research tools. Larger enterprises such as Phoenix Software Limited, which has been awarded this contract, may find it advantageous to compete, given the stringent requirements and substantial contract value. The renewal of the Optimal Work Shop licences for key NHS teams underscores the continual demand for advanced user research tools, thus providing a lucrative market for companies specialising in IT services with the infrastructure to support high-value public sector contracts.
