Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board procured a software service for direct payments linked to Personal Health Budgets across continuing care for adults, children and young people, including people eligible under section 117 of the Mental Health Act. The service is Imosphere Formulate, a digital tool that calculates an indicative budget from an individual’s care and support needs. It is intended to support transparent discussions between clinicians and clients about available budgets and the purchase of services, while providing a consistent process and reliable information for financial management, training and process improvement. The work is categorised as an industry-specific software service and is delivered in Eastleigh. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Imosphere Ltd on 13 August 2026. The award value is £113,828.35 excluding any stated tax treatment. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The submission deadline was 1 August 2026 at 12:00. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. One active award is recorded, to Imosphere Ltd, for the full stated value. The opportunity was treated as suitable for SMEs. The requirement was procured as a services contract covering the software-based calculation and support of indicative Personal Health Budget allocations for continuing care across all age groups.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board, this award demonstrates a requirement for specialist digital tools supporting Personal Health Budgets and direct payments across adult, children’s and young people’s continuing care. A credible competitor would need software that calculates indicative care budgets consistently from individual support needs and enables clinicians to hold transparent, strength-based discussions with clients. It would also need to produce dependable information for financial control, process consistency and identifying training or service improvements. Experience of workflows involving section 117 mental health eligibility and varied continuing-care users would be relevant. The procurement route shows that framework access and the ability to deliver as an SME can matter for this buyer.
