Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust procured a computer-aided facilities management (CAFM) system for Barnsley Facilities Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and Rotherham Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The requirement covers supplying and maintaining facilities management software and related computer facilities management services, including a single interconnected system and provider. The work is delivered for hospital facilities in Barnsley and Rotherham. It is a services procurement covering CAFM software, software information systems and associated computer facilities management. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer organisations are NHS foundation trusts, with the system supporting facilities management operations across their hospital estates.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. Eight bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs. Tabs FM LTD was selected. The award dated 2 April 2026 records a value of £141,850 excluding VAT (£170,220 including VAT), with a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029 and two possible two-year extensions to 30 June 2033. A signed active contract is also recorded with Tabs FM LTD, valued at £132,575 excluding VAT (£159,090 including VAT), signed on 21 April 2026 and running from 21 April 2026 to 28 June 2029, with two 24-month extensions available to 28 June 2033. Evaluation weighted features 40%, technical quality 20%, social value 10% and commercial price 30%.

This procurement shows demand from NHS hospital organisations for a single, interconnected CAFM platform supported by an ongoing maintenance service. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to provide facilities management software and demonstrate that their system meets a detailed feature list and technical requirements. Credibility would also depend on being able to support implementation and continued operation across the Barnsley and Rotherham hospital estates, rather than supplying standalone software only. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on system features and technical quality than on price, while social value formed a separate scored element. The successful supplier was an SME, and three SMEs reached the final stage, indicating that specialist smaller providers can compete where they can evidence suitable CAFM capability, technical delivery and service capacity.
