Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust bought enterprise licences for Microsoft Office 365, a software suite used across the Trust, including Outlook, Teams, Excel and Word. The licences support its email system (Exchange Online), mobile device management through Intune, file storage through OneDrive, and wider digital workplace activity. This is a software licensing requirement for the Trust’s IT infrastructure, rather than a software development or general IT services contract. Delivery is for the Trust in Bradford.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD. The award was made on 11 September 2026, with a contract value of £3,159,445.77. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The Trust used a selective route, placing a call-off through a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 September 2026. The contract was for Office 365 enterprise licences; the procurement was not divided into lots. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as unsuitable. The published information does not state evaluation criteria.

This award shows sustained demand at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for enterprise-wide Microsoft 365 licensing to underpin core workplace tools and services, including email, collaboration, device management and cloud file storage. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to supply and manage enterprise licences at Trust-wide scale, understand the Microsoft product environment and support its integration into healthcare IT infrastructure. The selected supplier was a large company, and the Trust used a framework call-off route; suppliers seeking comparable work should therefore be positioned to compete through the relevant framework and demonstrate the capacity to serve a large NHS organisation. This is a software supply opportunity, not evidence of demand for unrelated IT services.
