UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Northampton General Hospital NHS Trust, a central government public authority located in Northampton, has completed the procurement process for the "Annual AMaT licence" contract. This tender, which was part of the goods industry category, aimed at acquiring an annual licence management software package. The direct procurement method was employed, proceeding without competition as it fell below the threshold. The contract, awarded to MEANTIME AMAT LIMITED, commenced on 1st August 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2026, with the contract having been signed on 25th June 2025. The total contract value is £24,600, and its service is to be delivered in the UKF region.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in software and licence management solutions. While this specific procurement used a direct approach, understanding such non-competitive procedures can still offer insights into potential direct award opportunities within the public sector. Businesses well-suited to providing robust and reliable software services to large organisations, such as NHS Trusts, would likely find similar future opportunities beneficial to their expansion efforts, particularly those capable of navigating public sector processes and adhering to required standards. Additionally, companies that can establish direct relationships with public organisations or demonstrate a proven ability to meet specific requirements stand to gain from these types of procurements.
