Summary of the contracting process

Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is procuring end-to-end IT support for an incoming cohort of staff. The service covers first-, second- and, where required, third-line service desk support; desktop and endpoint management; infrastructure support; and overall service delivery management. The supplier is responsible for user provisioning, device deployment and configuration, incident and request management, infrastructure monitoring and maintenance, and resolving technical issues across workplace technologies. The buying organisation is based at St Mary’s Hospital in Kettering, and the requirement supports the Trust’s operational IT environment. This is a managed IT services opportunity for providers able to combine user support, workplace technology, endpoint, infrastructure and service management capabilities in an NHS setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award, justified as a partial replacement or continuation of existing services. The award date was 22 July 2026. OneAdvanced IT Services Limited was selected for the single lot. The awarded value is £4,332,725 excluding VAT, or £5,199,270 including VAT. The contract period is 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2028, with a possible 12-month extension to 14 September 2029. The requirement was treated as above the relevant threshold and classified as computer-related services. The published outcome identifies the award as pending, with a contract signature milestone due by 31 July 2026. The procurement was linked to urgency and used a direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting the Trust’s future IT support requirements. A credible competitor would need to deliver a full service desk across multiple support lines, with strong processes for incident and request management, user onboarding and provisioning, device deployment, endpoint management and workplace technology support. It would also need practical infrastructure monitoring, maintenance and fault resolution capability, supported by disciplined service delivery management. The requirement favours an established managed-services provider with sufficient operational capacity to support a substantial NHS workforce and coordinate a seamless start for incoming staff. Experience of complex public-sector or healthcare environments, dependable escalation arrangements, secure handling of user and device information, and the ability to continue or replace an existing service would strengthen a future proposition.
