Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has completed the award stage of the procurement process for "DHSC: Licences 25/26," focused on the provision of software licences. This procurement falls under the IT software package category (CPV 48517000) and took place in England, United Kingdom, with key delivery to Leeds (postal code LS2 7PD). The procurement employed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period closed on 3rd March 2025, with a contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contract was awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited, a large-scale supplier, for a total value of £3,110,641.45. This process was published on 22nd April 2025, marking the formal completion of the award stage.

This tender offers notable opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in IT software packages and services. The selective procurement method implies a pre-established framework agreement, which can expedite the procurement process for qualified suppliers. While the contract was awarded to a large-scale business, there remains potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in similar future procurement processes, as the tender suitability criteria indicated potential opportunities for SMEs. Engaging in such government contracts can enhance reputation and open avenues for further collaborations within the public sector.
