Summary of the contracting process

The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has concluded a direct procurement process for software-related services, specifically for the "Nautilus 835 Solution," which functions as a comprehensive service management wrapper for the VIRTeX solution. The most recent tender, identified by code C399035, has been awarded to ACCENTURE (UK) Limited for a term commencing on 1st December 2025 and concluding on 30th November 2030. This procurement, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, was categorized under services and noted as above the threshold. The procurement stage has reached completion with all contracts awarded, and the current status of the award is pending, with the standstill period ending on 26th November 2025. The procurement took place in Newcastle upon Tyne, aligning with the UKC region, and was executed through a direct award method due to a sole supplier's intellectual property rights.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for firms specializing in software services, particularly those offering software support and management solutions. Although ACCENTURE (UK) Limited, a large-scale enterprise, has been awarded the contract, the procurement outlines specifications that can guide similar businesses in understanding the landscape and demands within the public sector for future opportunities. The advanced nature of the service required indicates that companies with expertise in comprehensive software management and support services would be best suited to compete in similar tenders in the future. The contract's duration and specified service requirements highlight the potential for sustained business growth and relationship-building with large public organisations like the NHS.
