Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust bought Microsoft software licence renewals under an Enterprise Subscription Agreement (ESA). This is a supply of IT software licences, rather than a bespoke software development or implementation contract. The requirement was delivered for the Trust in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. The procurement description says the renewal was obtained through the NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative’s Total Technology Solutions framework. The buyer is the Trust, which provides NHS services in East and North Hertfordshire. This opportunity is relevant to software licensing resellers and Microsoft licensing specialists able to supply and renew enterprise licences for a large public-sector organisation. The stated requirement is focused on renewing Microsoft licences; it does not describe a wider IT transformation or support service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Trustmarque Solutions Limited. The award was made on 29 September 2025 for £175,000, and the contract runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. The estimated procurement range was £170,000 to £175,000. The Trust used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement rather than running a standalone open competition. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2025. The procurement was treated as a goods contract. It was not divided into lots, and the Trust indicated that it was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement data, so the basis for choosing the successful supplier cannot be described.

The award demonstrates demand from this NHS Trust for recurring Microsoft enterprise software licence renewals, at a scale requiring a sizeable licensing supply capability. Trustmarque, recorded as a large supplier, won through a call-off from the Total Technology Solutions framework. A credible competitor for a future renewal would need to be able to supply Microsoft ESA licences and operate as a framework supplier eligible for the relevant call-off route. The buyer’s assessment that this requirement was unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises suggests the opportunity was geared towards suppliers able to meet the scale and framework conditions of a large institutional purchase. Businesses focused on Microsoft licensing and public-sector framework supply are the closest fit; firms offering unrelated IT services are less directly aligned with the stated requirement.
