Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust involves the direct award of a contract for the provision of twelve servers along with five-year support services. Situated in Frimley, United Kingdom, the Trust operates under a public authority in the central government category. The procurement method utilised was direct award following a benchmarking exercise, and the tender is currently in the award stage with completion. Key dates include the contract commencement on 26 February 2026, lasting until 25 February 2031. This procurement falls within the goods category, specifically under computer servers, with an awarded value of £141,632 (net). The deadline for signature of the agreement is set for 26 February 2026.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT hardware, particularly those capable of supplying and supporting server infrastructure. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), due to their flexibility and scalability, are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, especially if they are already familiar with NHS requirements and standards. With the limited supplier response and preference for known suppliers, businesses with competitive pricing and stock availability could see substantial growth. ServerSource, the awarded supplier, exemplifies the potential of SMEs in the technology supply sector contributing to the needs of healthcare providers.
