Summary of the contracting process

Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust sought a finance and procurement system for use across its operations in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers financial systems software and related information systems, including financial management, reporting, user interface and standard data functionality, scalability, information governance, security and control, business continuity, ICT, service levels and performance indicators. The supplier would provide and support the system, including implementation and mobilisation. This is a software and information-systems supply opportunity rather than a construction or general consultancy contract. The requirement was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement reached tender: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries closed at 12:00 on 26 June 2026 and bids were due by 12:00 on 6 July 2026. Bids were to be submitted through the Atamis portal, with English as the submission language. The anticipated contract period was 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two 12-month extensions available to a maximum end date of 31 October 2031. The estimated value was £742,800 excluding VAT, or £890,300 including VAT. Evaluation allocated 80% to quality and 20% to commercial considerations, with quality covering functionality, implementation, presentation, sustainability, social value and service performance. The procurement was cancelled on 24 August 2026 because no successful bidder could be identified, so no contract award will be made.

This opportunity suited suppliers with an established finance and procurement software product and the capacity to deliver a supported implementation for an NHS ambulance service. Relevant strengths included demonstrable financial management, reporting, intuitive user-interface and standard data capabilities, together with scalable architecture and reliable ICT service delivery. Suppliers needed to address information governance, security and control, business continuity, service-level agreements, operational and strategic performance indicators, and mobilisation. The evaluation also rewarded approaches to reducing climate change and working towards net zero, social value and effective implementation. Businesses able to provide presentations, maintain the system over its operating life and evidence robust support arrangements would have been well placed to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises were expressly considered suitable.
