Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Assure Expenses" system has been concluded, with the award completed as of 9th July 2026. This project, led by the Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, focuses on software packages and information systems, involving the provision of various functionalities such as Duty of Care and Mileage Validation. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The value of the contract amounts to £35,814.72 and covers the period from 1st April 2026 until 31st March 2029. The contracting process was conducted in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, with the announcement of the award being made on 20th March 2026.

The tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those with expertise in developing and maintaining information systems for healthcare organisations. Although this specific contract has been awarded to Allocate Software Limited, similar tenders may arise, providing opportunities for both established and emerging firms in the software industry. Companies not classified as small or medium-sized enterprises currently are well-suited to compete for such contracts, particularly those capable of addressing specific functional requirements within the healthcare sector. Given the scale and specificity of the services required, businesses with a strong track record and existing framework agreements are likely better positioned to benefit from future opportunities within this domain.
