Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Project Portfolio Management System" was completed by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, a buying organisation situated in Taunton, UK. The tender, classified under the CPV code 48000000 for software packages and information systems, involved the procurement of goods through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement process reached the award stage, with the contract officially awarded on 3rd October 2025, and the contract period spanning from 28th October 2025 to 27th October 2026. The estimated contract value was £394,604, with the minimum value being £154,695. Although the tender period ended on 1st October 2025, the key decision had been made by late October 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software systems, particularly those experienced in managing healthcare-related IT projects. Companies such as software developers, IT consultancies, and service providers that can deliver robust portfolio management systems would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement initiatives. While the Somerset NHS Foundation Trust opted for a selective framework approach, future opportunities of this nature may require similarly qualified SMEs and businesses poised to offer innovative solutions to meet the technological needs of public health organisations. The selected supplier for this award was Program Framework Limited, suggesting their capability to meet the specific requirements set forth by the buyer.
