Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was initiated by Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for an "eRoster" software tailored to the "Agenda for Change" programme. This tender falls under the industry category of scheduling and productivity software, centralised in Bebington, United Kingdom. With the procurement being a below-threshold process of unknown method, it moved from tender to award and ultimately to contract. The award was active as of 8th April 2026 with a completion expected by the end of March 2029, providing a substantial contract valued at £810,666 (net) or £972,799.2 (gross). Key stakeholders include the buying organisation, Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and the supplier, Softcat, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Marlow.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those focusing on productivity and scheduling tools. Organisations like small to medium enterprises, especially those experienced in developing eRoster solutions for healthcare or public sectors, would be well-suited to compete in such procurements. Obtaining a contract with a government entity such as the NHS Trust not only enhances credibility but can also lead to further opportunities within the public sector. Companies can leverage this contract to grow and expand their service offerings while building a reputable portfolio.
