Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England, the buying organisation based in Leeds, has completed the award stage of the procurement process for its "Blueteq - Prior Approval System" project. This contract, aimed at acquiring software packages and information systems, falls under the industry category of services. The selective procurement method used was a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement is located in the United Kingdom, with key contract dates outlining a 12-month period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contract value is set at £405,500, with an award notice published on 23rd October 2025.

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses looking to provide solutions in software and information systems, although it appears to be more suited for established suppliers rather than SMEs or VCSEs, as per the suitability criteria outlined. The opportunity is particularly advantageous for firms capable of delivering comprehensive and scalable software systems that meet high compliance standards, given the healthcare sector's stringent requirements. Blueteq Limited, an SME located in Hampshire, has been awarded the contract, illustrating the potential for similar businesses to secure future opportunities through framework agreements with public sector clients.
