Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit bought an open-source hosting environment service for NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit, hosted by NHS England. The requirement covers operation and hosting of web-based services, classified under CPV 72415000, and is categorised as a service rather than goods or works. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Eastleigh, England, and the requirement supports NHS commissioning operations. The procurement was made on behalf of the North of England commissioning support organisation, so relevant suppliers should be able to work with NHS bodies and provide a hosting environment suited to public-sector web services. The requirement is specifically for open-source hosting delivered through a cloud-support framework.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ANS Group Limited on 11 September 2026. The award value is £30,903.81, and the contract runs from 15 September 2026 to 10 April 2027. NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit used a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 RM1557.14 framework, Lot 3 for cloud support. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 5pm. The contracting process identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and the contract documents include a signed-contract record. ANS Group Limited is the named supplier for the full requirement; no separate lot awards or alternative suppliers are identified.

This award is relevant to cloud hosting providers, managed service providers and open-source specialists able to operate secure, reliable web hosting environments for NHS commissioning organisations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in cloud support and the operation of web-based services, together with the governance, resilience and service-management discipline expected when supporting NHS users. Experience of delivering hosted open-source platforms for public-sector or healthcare organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where the service must be maintained and supported rather than simply supplied. The route also shows the value of access to the relevant G-Cloud cloud-support framework and the ability to complete a structured framework call-off. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs, so specialist smaller providers may be well placed to compete.
