Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Business Services Authority commissioned a software and information service for adult social care funding administration. The requirement is an application programming interface (API) that identifies parent and child relationships between organisations applying for funding in the adult social care service. This is a data and organisational-structure capability rather than a general software supply requirement. The buying organisation is the NHS Business Services Authority, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, and the service is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classed as software packages and information systems, with the main category being services. The requirement would suit providers able to supply reliable organisation data, relationship mapping and API access for use in a public-sector funding process.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The deadline for submissions was 29 June 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value range was £90,000 to £150,000. The contract was awarded to BEAUHURST (Business Funding Research Ltd) on 9 July 2026 for £150,000. The contract period runs from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2028. The award was active when recorded. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and it was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement data does not set out separate lots or a published award scoring breakdown.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand for a focused organisation-data API supporting adult social care funding decisions. A credible competitor for similar work would need to show that it can identify and maintain parent and subsidiary relationships accurately, expose that information through a dependable API, and integrate it into an established public-sector service. Relevant strengths would include authoritative business data, data quality controls, change monitoring, secure systems integration, service resilience and clear technical support arrangements. Experience of supplying information services to government, the NHS or regulated sectors would help demonstrate that the supplier can handle operational, compliance and assurance expectations. An SME could compete through specialist data and API capability, provided it can evidence sufficient service capacity and continuity.
