Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured JCAPS Rhapsody integration software and support. This is a software supply and software support requirement, covering the provision of the Rhapsody integration platform and associated support services for the Trust. The work is delivered in Nottingham, at the Trust’s Edwards Lane site in NG5 1PB, and relates to the Trust’s operational integration needs. The main category is goods, with software support services as the primary classification and IT software packages as an additional classification. The buyer is Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, a healthcare organisation serving the Nottingham area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 27 August 2025 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Insight Direct (UK) Ltd on 29 August 2025 for £48,692.58 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement’s estimated value range was £48,692.58 to £56,341 GBP. The contract period runs from 29 August 2025 to 27 September 2026. The award is active, and the tender is recorded as complete. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established demand from Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust for JCAPS Rhapsody integration software and continuing support. Suppliers targeting similar future requirements would need practical capability in supplying, licensing or supporting Rhapsody, together with experience of maintaining integration software in a complex healthcare environment. Credibility would also depend on being able to provide reliable technical support for a hospital trust, manage software-related service issues and work within public sector framework arrangements. Larger IT suppliers or specialist integration partners are better placed than small generalist providers, particularly those with the capacity to support enterprise software over the full contract lifecycle and to meet the governance, resilience and service expectations associated with NHS operations.
