Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured a Trend Micro Solution Server Licence, covering IT software and associated software support services. The requirement is for the Trust’s operations in Nottingham, at its Edwards Lane site and elsewhere in the East Midlands. This is a technology licensing and support requirement rather than a software development, hardware supply or general IT consultancy contract. The buying organisation is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, an NHS trust. The procurement is categorised primarily as goods, with software support as an additional service. Businesses relevant to this requirement include software licensing specialists, authorised Trend Micro partners, IT resellers and providers able to arrange the required licence and support entitlement for a large healthcare organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded to Softcat plc. The award was made on 1 April 2026 for £488,520, and the contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. The same value and period apply to the awarded requirement. It was a selective procurement conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender had a submission deadline of 31 March 2026 at 12 noon. The stated suitability assessment did not reserve the opportunity for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with Softcat plc named as the successful supplier. The evaluation basis is therefore the framework call-off process and its associated requirements for the Trend Micro licence and support service.

This award demonstrates established NHS demand for enterprise security software licensing and related support, delivered through a framework call-off route. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to Trend Micro Solution Server licensing, the ability to provide continuing software support, and experience managing licensing arrangements for a complex healthcare environment. It would also need the operational capacity to support a sizeable institutional customer, maintain accurate entitlement and renewal records, and work within framework call-off procedures. The selected supplier was a large IT provider, indicating that scale and established public-sector or enterprise delivery capability may be important in competing for a similar requirement. Relevant businesses include authorised technology partners, framework suppliers, software resellers and managed support providers with strong vendor relationships and mature account-management processes.
