Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust has awarded a contract for the provision and installation of Pure Storage C50RS, categorised under software supply services. This procurement falls within the services industry and is located in King's Lynn, United Kingdom, specifically designated by the postal code PE30 4ET. The procurement process is at the award stage, with the contract awarded on 27th January 2026 and running from 1st February 2026 to 31st January 2031. The value of the contract is £190,222.56, and it was carried out through a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, aiming to secure specialised software services for the Trust.

This contract presents a notable opportunity for businesses engaged in software supply services, particularly those capable of handling sophisticated installation tasks. Although the procurement method was selective, businesses with the capability to partner in framework agreements may benefit from exploring similar opportunities in future tenders. Large-scale enterprises like Softcat plc, which has been chosen as the supplier for this contract, are typically well-suited to compete for contracts of this nature, given their capacity to deliver high-value and highly specialised services to large institutions. SMEs and VCSEs may find participation challenging due to the complex requirements inherent in such provision agreements.
