Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust focused on acquiring a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Platform for research purposes. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement, falling under the industry category of Software package and information systems (CPV 48000000). The process, now in the award stage, concluded on 2nd July 2026 with an active award valued at £92,789. The contract period extends from 8th July 2026 to 7th July 2029, with the solution being applicable across the United Kingdom, primarily based in Bradford.

This tender embodies substantial growth prospects for businesses specialising in IT infrastructure and software solutions, particularly those capable of providing VDI platforms that enhance secure and centralised access to virtual desktops and applications. Although the contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited, large-scale firms in software development and IT services might find such opportunities suitable. The framework procurement method indicates a competitive but focused selection, favouring companies with established credentials in handling similar framework agreements.
