Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured licences for an electronic rostering system for nurses. The requirement covers the supply of IT software and associated software support services for workforce rostering. Delivery is for the Trust in Nottingham, including its site on Edwards Lane and the wider East Midlands area. The buyer is an NHS trust, and the service is intended to support the organisation’s nursing workforce through an eRostering system. This is primarily a software licensing and support requirement rather than a construction, equipment supply or general staffing contract. Businesses operating in healthcare workforce-management software, electronic rostering platforms, software licensing or related support services are the most directly relevant potential suppliers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 31 August 2025 at 11:46. Softcat plc was awarded the contract on 1 September 2025 for £2,058,847. The contract runs from 1 September 2025 to 28 February 2030. The tender recorded an estimated minimum value of £2,058,847 and an overall estimated value of £951,445.34, both in GBP; the awarded value is reported separately above. The arrangement has one supplier and the award is active. The requirement was categorised as goods, with software support services and an IT software package as the relevant classifications. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates sustained NHS demand for electronic rostering licences and support for nursing services within a large hospital trust. A credible future competitor would need a mature healthcare workforce-management platform, the ability to provide and maintain user licences, and dependable software support throughout a multi-year agreement. Experience delivering rostering technology for nurses or comparable clinical workforces would be commercially relevant, particularly where the system must support operational planning across a substantial NHS organisation. The selected supplier was a large company and accessed the requirement through a framework call-off, so businesses targeting similar work would need appropriate framework access or a route into relevant public-sector purchasing arrangements, alongside the operational capacity to support a long-term NHS customer.
