Summary of the contracting process

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) procured a renewal of ManageEngine software licences for NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit (NECS), hosted by NHS England. This is a software licensing and licence-management requirement, classified as a goods purchase. The procurement description identifies the product renewal but does not give a breakdown of licence types, quantities or related implementation services. Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom, with no specific town or site identified. SCW managed the procurement on NECS’s behalf; the contracting organisation is therefore distinct from the NHS body whose licence requirement was being met.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bechtle Limited on 15 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £189,681.59. The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 19 October 2027. The requirement was procured as a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Technology Products and Associated Services 2 framework, under its software lot. The stated response deadline was 31 July 2026 at noon. The process record does not set out a separate award-scoring formula or evaluation weighting. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award.

This award is evidence of NHS demand for renewal of ManageEngine licences, rather than a broader software implementation or support contract. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply and renew the relevant software licences and be able to meet the purchasing route used here: a call-off through the Crown Commercial Service technology products framework’s software lot. The buyer’s stated SME suitability means smaller suppliers could be relevant where they can meet the framework’s access and delivery requirements. The selected supplier is a large company, demonstrating that the requirement was fulfilled by a supplier with the capacity to serve an NHS commissioning support organisation. The available scope does not establish a particular licence count, product configuration or technical accreditation, so those should not be treated as proven requirements.
