Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Trust procured the full implementation of its nhs.net migration to a central tenant. This is an information technology services project covering implementation, software and internet support associated with the migration. The work is for the Trust and is delivered in England, with the buyer’s address in Brierley Hill, West Midlands. The requirement is categorised under IT services, consulting, software development, internet and support, and is a services contract rather than a supply or construction project. It is relevant to businesses that implement Microsoft-style digital workspace or cloud-tenant migrations and can provide the associated technical delivery and support for an NHS ambulance service organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 July 2026 to Softcat plc. The awarded contract value is £160,824.75 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. It was a selective call-off from the SBS10510 Framework for Digital Workspace 2, rather than a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12:00. The stated evaluation resulted in one active award to Softcat plc for the full implementation requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation by voluntary, community and social enterprises was not indicated as suitable.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from an NHS ambulance service trust for practical delivery of an nhs.net migration into a central tenant, rather than only advisory work or software licensing. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in digital workspace implementation, tenant migration, software and internet services, and technical support through the delivery period. Experience of handling a complete migration for a public-sector or similarly complex organisation would help demonstrate delivery assurance. Suppliers would also need access to the SBS10510 Framework for Digital Workspace 2, because this requirement was bought through that route. The stated SME suitability indicates that a capable specialist or smaller technology business could be commercially relevant, provided it can meet the framework and implementation requirements.
