Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Smartcard RA BAU" project, led by the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, falls within the IT services industry category and is valued at £118,352. This process, which has now reached the award stage, involves providing support for 7,153 users over an 11-month period from 1st February 2026 to 31st December 2026. Located in Worthing, United Kingdom, this procurement utilised a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender process concluded on 28th January 2026, and the contract was awarded to NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit on 19th May 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for suppliers in the IT services sector, particularly those capable of delivering consulting and support services. Businesses well-suited to compete are those with experience in IT service provision and a demonstrated capability in handling large-scale support operations, although the framework agreement method indicates a pre-selection of suppliers. The award to a commissioning support unit highlights the need for established expertise and reliability in managing significant user numbers within the healthcare sector.
