Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the renewal of BrowserStack licences, led by NHS Digital, has been successfully completed under the procurement stage of award with the final award date published on 28th April 2025. This selective procurement method involved a call-off from a framework agreement, enhancing the value to £666,665.21 due to increased demand within NHS England. Classified under the software testing industry (CPV code: 72254000), the contract, initially estimated at £600,000, ultimately reflects the agile and adaptive services required. The contract, applicable from 13th August 2021 to 13th August 2025, serves multiple global locations including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom, with the headquarters based in Leeds, UK.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the software services sector, particularly those adept at providing testing tools like BrowserStack.

Notice Information

Notice Title

BrowserStack renewal 2021

Notice Description

New contract required to renew existing BrowserStack licences Additional information: This variation increases the value of the contract from PS600,000.00 as originally published on Contracts Finder, to PS666,665.21. This variation is being made in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The services provided under the contract remain the same, being the provision of BrowserStack Software Licences. However, there has been an unforeseen need to uplift the contract value due to an increase in the number of teams using BrowserStack since contract inception. During the original, there have been a number of non-substantial amendments to the contract, reflecting the agile nature of the services. It has also come to the attention of NHS England that the original value of PS600,000 and date of expiry of 12th August 2024 included in the Contract Notice for the contract publication included an estimated contract value and expiry date. The accurate 'Total Final Value' and expiry date of the contract is PS666,665.21 and expiry date of 13th August 2025. This value includes the cost of all contract variations undertaken within the during the initial and extended term to date.
