Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "ORACLE Support and Maintenance" was conducted by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. This contract falls under the software support services category, classified with the CPV code 72261000, and is situated in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement stage has been completed, with the award status marked as active on 3rd April 2025. It was executed through a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period extends from 3rd April 2025 to 2nd April 2028, with the final tender submission deadline having been on 2nd April 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software support services, particularly those with the capability to provide ORACLE maintenance. Although the contract was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd, other large-scale businesses with relevant expertise may look for similar future opportunities to increase their public sector portfolio. SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this specific process, but firms within the same large-scale bracket, similar to Insight Direct, would benefit from monitoring subsequent procurement processes initiated by institutions like Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
