Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, located in Birmingham, has completed a public procurement process titled "UHB Azure Consumption," concerning IT software packages. The contract was awarded to INSIGHT DIRECT (UK) LTD following a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. This process, classified under the services category, focused on Azure consumption charges and had a total contract value of £240,000. The contract started on 29 May 2025 and is set to conclude on 28 May 2026, with the procurement reaching the award stage on 8 July 2025.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies experienced in IT services, specifically those dealing with cloud solutions like Azure. Although the procurement method was selective, indicating a preference for businesses already part of specific frameworks, it sets the stage for potential future engagements with large-scale organisations like NHS Trusts. Large enterprises specialising in IT infrastructure are particularly well-positioned to benefit from such opportunities, enhancing their profiles in public sector IT solutions.
