Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves NHS Shared Business Services facilitated by Southern Housing, focusing on software packages and information systems. The procurement falls under the services category and is designated for locations in London and the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement has reached the award stage, with the award notice published on 6th January 2026. It is a selective procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with the awarded contract spanning from 6th November 2025 to 5th November 2028. The total contract value is £80,476. Businesses looking to bid would have needed to submit their entries by 1st October 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly those equipped to meet the complex needs of healthcare service providers. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) would find this procurement process accessible, as the contract is considered suitable for SMEs but not for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The procurement's focus on establishing sustainable service delivery in specific regions suggests that businesses with a strategic presence in London and the South East would be well-placed to leverage existing networks and experience. With Softcat PLC as the awarded supplier, potential competitors in this sector might explore similar offerings and partnership models to enhance their bid prospects in future tenders.
