Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured remote clinical coding services for its healthcare operations. The requirement is delivered remotely, with the delivery area identified as the East of England. The work sits within IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support services, although the stated requirement is specifically clinical coding rather than general IT support. The Trust is the buying organisation. The procurement was made under the NOECPH NOEI.0552.0 framework arrangement, indicating that the requirement was sourced through an established purchasing route rather than as a standalone open-market competition. This is a specialist healthcare information service for organisations able to provide reliable remote clinical coding support to an NHS hospital trust.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender’s estimated value range was £40,000 to £260,000. Softcat plc received the award, valued at £259,549.89. The award date was 5 May 2026, and the contract runs from 5 May 2026 to 4 May 2027. Evaluation was conducted within the framework call-off process. The requirement was not reserved for small or medium-sized enterprises or for voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier is identified as awarded. The original submission deadline was 1 May 2026 at 12:00 BST. This outcome shows the Trust’s selected route, the contract scale and the incumbent supplier for the remote clinical coding requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the opportunity provides a clear benchmark for competing for the same type of requirement in future. Credibility would require a proven ability to deliver remote clinical coding services for an NHS teaching hospital, with dependable operational capacity across the East of England delivery area. Suppliers should be able to support healthcare information workflows at a substantial contract scale and demonstrate that their service can operate through a framework call-off route. The selected supplier is a large organisation, and the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses considering this market should therefore assess their scale, framework access, NHS healthcare experience and ability to provide consistent remote service delivery.
