Summary of the contracting process

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) procured NinjaOne software licences for 2026/27. This is a software and information-systems requirement, classified as a service, with the purchase focused on licences rather than a broader software implementation or support project. The delivery location is associated with NICE’s address in Manchester. The procurement is for NICE’s own requirements; the published description does not set out licence quantities or detailed technical specifications. Akhter Computers Limited was selected to supply the licences.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Akhter Computers Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 22 September 2026. The awarded value is £26,053.73. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The original tender deadline was 8 July 2026 at 12:00. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into lots. NICE marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the published process information, so the basis on which competing suppliers were assessed cannot be described.

This award demonstrates demand at NICE for annual NinjaOne software licensing, bought through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. A supplier seeking to compete when this requirement next comes to market would need access to the relevant framework route and the ability to supply the required NinjaOne licences to NICE. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that a smaller supplier was able to fulfil this particular order despite the tender’s SME-suitability setting. The scale is a focused, one-year licence purchase, rather than a major software deployment. This is most relevant to software resellers or licensing specialists able to provide NinjaOne products through the applicable framework and serve a public-sector buyer.
