Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) has recently completed a procurement process titled "Insight Cloud Services" in the data services industry. This procurement involved the purchase of Oracle Universal Credits to support critical NHS systems, particularly the ePACT2 and eDEN systems, which facilitate prescription and dental activity. The contract was awarded based on a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to the sole technical rights held by Oracle Corporation. The contract value amounts to £1,200,000 and was signed on 22 February 2021, with services expected to ensure continuity for a further 12 months. The procurement was classified under the main category of services and took place in the UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in cloud services and data management, particularly those capable of providing services that integrate with Oracle products. Companies with expertise in data solutions, cloud technology, and IT services may find it advantageous to explore partnerships or contract opportunities with NHSBSA in relation to similar procurements in the future. The established memorandum of understanding with Crown Commercial Services highlights the importance of adhering to negotiated discounts, which could be beneficial for firms positioned to bid for similar contracts in the health sector.
