Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Nervecentre" within the software package and information systems industry category. The procurement was managed as a limited procedure, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This contract, valued at £1,855,000, was awarded on 31st March 2026 to Nervecentre Software Ltd, a supplier based in the UKC21 region. Key stakeholders include Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust as the mediation body and the High Court and Court of Appeal of England and Wales as the review body. The contract location is centred around North Shields, UK, in line with the regional focus of the buying organisation.
