Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Immersive Labs Cyber Training Platform - Licence and Support," led by NHS England, has concluded with an active award as of 24th April 2026. NHS England, situated in Leeds, oversaw the tender focused on software package and information systems within the goods category. With a contract value of £4,048,924.64, the project targets delivery addresses in the United Kingdom, specifically postcode LS1 4AP. The tender was conducted through a selective procurement method, utilising a call-off from a framework agreement, and was completed by 26th January 2026. The contract period extends from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2028.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for enterprises specialising in software and information systems. Given its competitive nature, businesses operating within the SME domain could have been well-suited to compete, though the award was ultimately granted to Softcat Plc, a large-scale supplier. The call-off framework provided a streamlined procurement path for experienced suppliers already recognised in the framework, fostering opportunities within the cyber training platform sector. Those able to deliver innovative and scalable solutions would find this engagement beneficial, offering a robust foundation for developing further partnerships with public health entities like NHS England.
