Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust bought a board portal through the NOE CPC Total Technology Solutions framework. The requirement covers board portal software and related software services, classified under CPV 72260000. It supports the Trust’s board and governance activities. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the requirement linked to postcode CM20 1QX. The buyer is The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust, based in Welwyn Garden City, England. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the classification identifies software-related services. Softcat plc is the named supplier. This is a technology supply opportunity for providers of board-management or governance-portal platforms serving NHS or comparable public-sector organisations.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 13 July 2026 at 12:00. Softcat plc received the active award on 22 July 2026 for GBP 76,113.33. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2029. The estimated procurement value was GBP 76,113.33, with a minimum estimated value of GBP 75,000. The award was published on 26 August 2026. The published information identifies one supplier and one requirement. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No award cancellation or contract termination is recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for a board portal delivered through a technology framework, with a contract value in the tens of thousands of pounds and a multi-year service period. Competitors targeting future demand from this Trust should be credible suppliers of secure board-management software, with the operational maturity to support NHS governance users over a sustained contract. Framework access is commercially important because the buyer used a call-off rather than an open standalone competition. The stated unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that the buyer expected a larger, established technology provider. Relevant suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable implementation, platform support, information security and experience serving complex public-sector or healthcare organisations.
