Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Documentum Upgrade" project was conducted by the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, focusing on IT software package solutions. The process utilised a selective procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender, classified under the CPV code 48517000, pertains to the IT software industry. The contract commenced on 29th February 2024 and is set to end by 1st April 2029, situated in Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, United Kingdom. The award phase was completed, and the contract was formally awarded on 29th February 2024, with an overall contract value of £249,999.99.

This tender offers substantial business growth potential for companies specialising in IT software and support services. Notably, this opportunity is not tailored for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggesting it is more suited for large-scale organisations with robust resources and expertise, as evidenced by the successful award to Specialist Computer Centres PLC. Businesses with existing framework agreements in place and capabilities in delivering high-quality software solutions would be well-positioned to engage in similar future procurement opportunities with the NHS Trust and similar entities.
