This contract involves the maintenance of the IT primary data centre at KGH. The industry category is computer equipment and supplies, classified under CPV code 30200000. The procurement process was selective, employing a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 29th March 2026 to 28th March 2027, with the award notice published on 9th July 2026. The project is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, specifically at Kettering General Hospital, with postal code NN16 8UZ.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in IT maintenance and support services to foster growth, particularly large IT suppliers capable of delivering comprehensive data centre solutions. While the procurement was selective, aligning with framework agreements facilitates partnerships and exposure to future opportunities within the NHS Trust network.
