Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has recently completed the award stage of a tender process for the 'BWC softcat Imprivata' project, classified under the IT software package category. This procurement, which operated under a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement, was aimed at enhancing IT services. The awarded contract, valued at £58,023.70, will run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, and is situated in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The award was conferred to SOFTCAT PLC, a large-scale supplier, on 7th February 2025. The opportunity was structured to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
