UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust has completed a procurement process for a Vendor Privileged Access Management Solution (VPAM) under a limited competition arrangement. Classified within the IT software package industry category, the procurement concluded as per a below-threshold approach, involving limited competition. The award, dated 12th March 2026, saw Softcat appointed as the supplier, with the contract already activated on 27th February 2026 and planned to run until 26th February 2029. The buying organisation, located at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, serves as a public authority within the broader central government category.

This Vendor Privileged Access Management Solution tender, having culminated in a significant contract worth £83,000, presents a considerable business growth opportunity particularly for large-scale businesses involved in IT solutions. Organisations with expertise in providing high-security access management software are especially well-suited to compete in such tenders, which provide access to secure and significant public-sector contracts. While this contract is with a large supplier, it indicates opportunities for similar businesses to pursue future tenders involving comprehensive IT solutions, particularly for healthcare sector entities like NHS Trusts.
