Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust has completed an award process for its Remote Support Cloud Endpoint License, as part of a procurement within the software-related services industry. The contract, valued at £149,000, is facilitated through a call-off from a framework agreement under the NOE CPC Total Technology Solutions Framework. This procurement was conducted via a selective method, aimed primarily at acquiring goods. Located in Welwyn Garden City, England, the Trust managed this contracting process, which concluded with an award on 29 June 2026, and will run until 28 June 2031. The awarded supplier is Softcat plc.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software-related services, particularly those with capabilities in providing remote support solutions. Companies that operate on a large scale, such as Softcat plc, are well-suited to partake in such processes, given the nature of the selective procurement method used. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically targeted in this procurement, similar engagements can pave the way for businesses to expand their service offerings and cultivate partnerships within the public sector, potentially leading to further contracts and growth in this domain.
