Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for renewing NHS England's Heroku Dynos contract for 2026-27 has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 20th November 2025. NHS England, a central government public authority located in London, has procured goods categorized under software packages and information systems through a limited competition method, indicative of a below-threshold procurement, ensuring focused competition. The awarded contract involves supplier Boxxe Ltd, headquartered in York, commencing on 27th January 2026 and concluding on 26th January 2027.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software package and information systems within the information technology sector. While the limited competition approach denotes competition tailored to specific criteria, the procurement allows large-scale businesses accustomed to government contracts to expand their portfolio with prestigious clients like NHS England. The focus on software and systems suggests suitable candidates would excel in support, innovation, and scalable solutions for healthcare. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to watch for future opportunities to align with such large-scale contracts that foster growth and visibility in the public sector.
