Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured 12,000 SnapComms Engage software licences for use across its organisation. This is a goods purchase in the software package and information systems category, covering the supply of licences rather than software development, implementation or wider IT support. The buying organisation is NHS England, based at Wellington Place in Leeds, and the delivery location is Leeds, United Kingdom. The requirement is suited to businesses that supply enterprise communication or notification software licences at scale, particularly those able to provide SnapComms Engage or an authorised route to it. The procurement concerns a defined licence volume for an NHS buyer, making it relevant to software publishers, authorised resellers and technology suppliers supporting public-sector customers.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. NHS England used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 29 June 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The estimated value range was £51,480 to £102,960, and the awarded value was £102,960. Akhter Computers Limited was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026. The procurement was for one requirement covering 12,000 licences. The published information identifies the purchase as goods and records suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and its contract period matches the stated tender contract period.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a recurring public-sector requirement for large-scale SnapComms Engage licensing within NHS England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to the relevant software product and the ability to supply 12,000 licences reliably to a national healthcare organisation. Experience in enterprise software licensing, public-sector account management and framework call-offs would be commercially relevant, as would the operational capacity to manage ordering, licence allocation and customer support at this scale. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller technology reseller or specialist licensing partner could be well placed if it can demonstrate product access, dependable fulfilment and the governance needed to serve NHS England.
