Summary of the contracting process

NHS Property Services Limited procured software support services for Open Space, including ongoing support, maintenance and hosting. The procurement also covers a modification to establish a dedicated NHS Open Space software development team. The work is associated with the CCS Vertical Applications RM6259 framework and is intended for delivery across England. This is a technology services requirement rather than a supply of physical goods or construction works. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include software support and hosting providers, application maintenance specialists, and development teams able to support an NHS-focused software platform. The scope indicates a continuing service combining operational support with software development capability for Open Space.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender value was £379,500, with submissions due by 6 June 2025 at 5pm. Three active awards are recorded to Kajima Partnership Limited: £1,361,170,687.50 awarded on 9 June 2025 for a contract running from 23 June 2025 to 22 June 2028; £1,361,170.68, also awarded on 9 June 2025 for the same period; and £379,500 awarded on 18 September 2026 for a contract running from 21 September 2026 to 22 June 2028. The procurement was categorised as services and identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates demand from NHS Property Services for a specialist supplier able to keep Open Space software hosted, supported and maintained while also providing dedicated development resource. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need a reliable application support operation, hosting capability and software engineering capacity that can work as an integrated team. Experience of maintaining a live platform, handling support obligations and delivering planned development would be directly relevant. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller technology business with the necessary delivery capability may be well placed, either independently or through a framework route. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate dependable service management and the capacity to support an NHS-related customer across England.
