Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a Staff Management System under the Locum Platform Services Agreement. This tender falls within the industry category of software packages and information systems, and it was conducted through a selective procurement method with a framework agreement call-off. Located in Poole, United Kingdom, the procurement stage is currently at the award phase, which was actively concluded on 27th January 2026. The contract spans from 18th November 2025 to 17th November 2028 and includes options for a six-month break clause after year two. The awarded contract is valued at £763,780 GBP, and it encompasses various elements such as medical grade matching and interfaces for ESR and HealthRota support and maintenance.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the software and IT services industry, particularly those with expertise in healthcare systems. Although it is not specifically suited for SMEs or VCSEs, companies that specialise in developing robust management systems with bi-directional interface capabilities, such as Locums Nest Ltd, which won the contract, stand to benefit. Businesses focusing on cutting-edge software solutions, particularly those offering platform integration and annual support services, would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders that require innovative and efficient service delivery in healthcare management systems.
