Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, which has awarded a contract for the provision of a TrendMicro Solution Server Licence. This pertains to IT software packages within the software support services industry category. The procurement follows a selective method as part of a call-off from a framework agreement. The process concluded with the award stage on 1st April 2026, after the tender period ended on 31st March 2026. The contract, valued at £488,520, covers a period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, and is specifically located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the IT sector, particularly those capable of delivering sophisticated software solutions and support services. Although the contract was awarded to Softcat plc, a large-scale supplier, businesses looking to grow in government IT procurement could find similar future tenders beneficial, especially if they can offer competitive frameworks and service delivery under similar conditions. Companies experienced with public sector collaborations and those who can navigate selective procurement frameworks might find this process as a potential growth avenue in their portfolio.
