Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured workstation licences and cables for endoscopy infrastructure. The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems, but also includes physical cabling associated with the workstations. It is a goods procurement for delivery in Lincoln, at the Trust’s Greetwell Road location. The scope points to suppliers able to provide the licensing and connectivity needed to support endoscopy-related clinical infrastructure. The buyer is an NHS acute teaching trust, so the requirement sits within a hospital technology environment rather than a general office workstation deployment. The selected supplier, Endosoft Limited, is based in Leicester and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 July 2026 to Endosoft Limited. The awarded contract value is £28,700 including the published currency, GBP. The contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 14 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 5pm. The Trust used a direct procurement route described as a single tender action below the applicable threshold, rather than an open competition. The award is active, and the contract period matches the awarded period. The procurement was treated as a goods purchase. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award, with no separate lot structure or evaluation weighting recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the opportunity demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for workstation licensing and cabling within endoscopy infrastructure. A credible competitor would need to supply compatible software licences and associated cabling, understand how workstation technology operates in a hospital clinical setting, and coordinate delivery to an NHS trust site. The requirement suits a specialist technology reseller, systems supplier or infrastructure provider able to combine software procurement with practical connectivity equipment rather than offering either in isolation. Experience supporting healthcare, clinical technology or hospital IT environments would help demonstrate understanding of operational constraints, compatibility and continuity. The award also shows that this type of relatively modest requirement can be handled through a below-threshold single-tender route.
