Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Manchester Telepath 3rd Party Hardware Support," overseen by the UK Health Security Agency, has been completed. This service falls within the IT services industry category, specifically targeting consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The process utilised a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement, as well as a direct method involving a single tender action below threshold. The awarded contract with a value of £99,976.64, running from 28 July 2025 to 27 July 2027, addresses delivery across the United Kingdom, with specific postings in London (E14 4PU). The final award notice was published on 20 August 2025 with significant documentation provided by the supplier, SOFTCAT PLC.

This tender offers a growth opportunity primarily for large-scale IT service providers experienced in third-party hardware support and CPV-classified IT services. The nature of the procurement as a framework call-off suggests established suppliers with a robust service portfolio can easily compete. Direct engagement for solutions below the threshold may favour those with precise and agile fulfilment capabilities, allowing immediate response to the different contractual and support demands. Businesses that are proficient in consulting and providing software solutions will find this tender lucrative, particularly given the two-year contract duration that enables consistent revenue through prolonged engagement with the UK Health Security Agency.
