Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant procured Tricentis NeoLoad Pro cloud licences, classified as an IT software package. The requirement is for the provision of licences for use by the NHS organisation, with delivery associated with its site at North Bristol Park, Bristol, BS34 7QH, in the United Kingdom. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or general services contract. The named buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant. The product-specific requirement will suit businesses that supply Tricentis NeoLoad Pro through an authorised licensing or reseller route, and organisations able to manage the provision of cloud-based software licences to a public-sector customer. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed for submissions at 12:00 on 21 July 2026. The contract was awarded on 31 July 2026 to SPECIALIST COMPUTER CENTRES PLC for £255,962.16 including the stated currency of GBP. The tender’s estimated value range was £147,519.28 minimum to £255,962.16 maximum. The contract period runs from 9 August 2026 to 8 August 2029. The award is active and covers the full requirement for Tricentis NeoLoad Pro cloud licences. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off route, with the awarded supplier selected under that procedure.

This award provides a clear indication of NHS Blood and Transplant’s demand for Tricentis NeoLoad Pro cloud licensing and its use of a framework call-off route for obtaining specialist software. Competitors considering future requirements from this buyer would need a dependable route to supply the named product, including the ability to provide the required licence entitlement and manage cloud licence provision for a public-sector organisation. Experience handling software licensing arrangements, framework call-offs, procurement compliance and customer support would strengthen credibility. The opportunity is also relevant to smaller businesses, since the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs. The successful supplier’s scale indicates that established IT resellers and licensing specialists are active in this market.
