Summary of the contracting process

NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit bought UK health and licence support services for NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board and NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board. The requirement covers health-related support and licensing, classified as data services, and is intended to support the two NHS commissioning organisations. Delivery is in the South West of England. The procurement sits within the cloud software category of the Government Commercial Agency’s G-Cloud framework. It is a services requirement rather than a goods or construction opportunity, so relevant suppliers are those providing health-sector data, software support, licensing or associated cloud-based services. The stated requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 April 2026 at 12:00 BST. Facts and Dimensions Ltd was awarded the contract on 18 June 2026 for £53,228.30 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit acted for NHS BNSSG ICB and NHS Gloucestershire ICB. The award is active, and the contract period matches the awarded period. The procurement used the Government Commercial Agency G-Cloud Framework 14, Lot 2 for cloud software. The published requirement identified data services as its primary classification and used a framework call-off route rather than an open standalone competition.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the requirement indicates demand for a focused provider of UK health support linked to software licensing and data services. A credible competitor for a future requirement from these NHS organisations would need to show that it can support health-sector users, manage the relevant software or licence arrangements, and deliver dependable cloud-based data services through an established public-sector route. The award to Facts and Dimensions Ltd, identified as an SME, shows that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large systems integrator. Useful preparation would include evidence of comparable NHS or health-sector support, clear licence-management capability, reliable service delivery and familiarity with framework call-off contracting.
