Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured Octopus Deploy licences through a call-off contract. The purchase is for software licences, within the software packages and information systems category (CPV 48000000). The item is associated with Leeds, while the stated delivery coverage also includes the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a software licensing requirement rather than a procurement for implementation services or software development. The buyer is NHS England, based in Leeds. The broad geographic coverage means the licences are intended to support use beyond a single local delivery site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Akhter Computers Limited. The award was made on 14 October 2026 for £244,112.08, with a contract period from 16 November 2026 to 16 November 2029. The tender estimated a value of £61,028.02 and a minimum value of £244,112.08. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 25 September 2026 at 17:00. The procurement data does not describe the evaluation criteria or identify separate lots. NHS England marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows NHS England buying Octopus Deploy licences through a framework call-off, with the selected supplier, Akhter Computers Limited, identified as an SME. Suppliers targeting a future requirement from this buyer would need to be able to provide the specified software licences at substantial scale and support use across a wide geographic footprint, including the UK and overseas locations. Experience supplying software packages and information systems to public-sector organisations, and the ability to compete through an appropriate framework route, would be relevant strengths. The procurement is specifically for Octopus Deploy licensing, so suppliers with a credible route to supply those licences are better placed than general software providers without access to the product.
