Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust is undergoing a procurement process aimed at acquiring a Cohesity Data Backup service. This procurement falls under the industry category of software package and information systems. The contract location is primarily based in Worthing, UK, with applicability to British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and other international regions. The procurement is in the "Award" stage, having been completed with the contract expected to run from 1 February 2025 to 31 January 2030. This tender process commenced from a framework agreement using a selective procurement method, facilitated by Softcat PLC under the NHS SBS DWS framework, with a total contract value of £1,163,190.

This contract offers significant opportunities for established businesses, particularly those specialising in software solutions and IT infrastructure services, as it involves comprehensive data backup capabilities essential for the healthcare sector. Given that the procurement process emphasised a selective method from a pre-existing framework, businesses experienced with framework contracts and equipped to cater to large-scale demands would be highly suitable competitors in similar future opportunities. The engagement does not consider SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for well-established entities with the capacity to manage expansive and critical IT operations.
