Summary of the contracting process

The United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has successfully awarded a contract concerning membership to the British Computer Society. This procurement process falls under the category of business services, including law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The awarding stage concluded with a direct procurement method, classified as below threshold and therefore without competition. The contract, dated 31st July 2025, spans from the start of August 2025 until the end of July 2028 with a gross value amounting to £53,200. Located in Lincoln, the buying organisation is part of the UK's central government public authority sector.

This tender could provide various businesses with growth opportunities by strengthening ties with prominent organisations such as the British Computer Society. Firms involved in services related to technology, business service provisioning, and consulting would be particularly well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. As there was no competitive tendering involved in this procurement, smaller businesses could consider pursuing direct partnerships with authorities to expand their foothold in the market. Given the substantial contract period and value, engagement could bolster capabilities and professional networks, laying the groundwork for future procurement opportunities.
