Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured a software and information service providing mapping and road-distance functions for 111.nhs.uk, NHS Service Finder and the NHS Directory of Services. The requirement is intended to support reliable, high-performance location services, including mapping and distance calculations used to help people identify relevant NHS services. Delivery is associated with NHS England in Leeds, with the service supporting NHS digital platforms across the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement rather than a physical works or goods contract. It will be relevant to suppliers providing mapping platforms, geospatial data, routing technology, road-distance calculation services or related digital infrastructure for public-sector and healthcare applications.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to BYTES SOFTWARE SERVICES LIMITED on 17 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded value is £141,358.88 including the stated currency of GBP. The wider estimated procurement value was between £141,358.88 and £424,076.64. The tender submission deadline was 16 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded contract period runs from 27 October 2026 to 27 October 2027. NHS England identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is a large organisation.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of NHS England’s demand for externally provided mapping and road-distance capability across several national-facing digital services. A credible future competitor would need a dependable mapping and routing service, accurate geospatial and road-network data, and the technical capacity to support high-performance distance calculations at NHS service-finder scale. Experience integrating these functions into public-facing digital platforms would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where service continuity, operational resilience and consistent performance are important. Suppliers should also understand how to access and compete through relevant framework agreements, as this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off.
