Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust procured a finance system and associated software-related services, classified under CPV 72260000. The requirement is for the Trust’s finance and accounting functions, delivered for the Trust in England. The buying organisation is West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the scope concerns a finance system supplied with software-related services. It was arranged through NHS Shared Business Services’ Finance and Accounting Framework, specifically Lot 3. This makes the opportunity relevant to suppliers of finance management software, implementation and related support services for NHS or other large public-sector organisations. The requirement is associated with the Trust’s WD18 0HB delivery location.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 September 2026 to NHS Shared Business Services Limited. The award value is £4,314,625, against an estimated range from £4,314,000 to £4,314,625. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2037. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open competition, using the NHS Shared Business Services Finance and Accounting Framework, Lot 3. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 12:00. The award is active. The published outcome identifies NHS Shared Business Services Limited as the selected supplier. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a substantial, long-term requirement for a finance system supporting an NHS teaching hospital, procured through a specialist public-sector framework. A credible future competitor would need a proven finance and accounting software product, together with the capability to implement it and provide dependable support throughout a complex healthcare organisation. Experience serving NHS bodies or comparable public-sector institutions would help demonstrate understanding of regulated environments, financial controls, integration needs and continuity requirements. Suppliers would also need to understand how to compete through framework call-offs, including the requirements of finance and accounting framework Lot 3. The scale and duration indicate that bidders should have strong delivery capacity, established support arrangements and the financial resilience to sustain a major system relationship over many years.
