Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust procured a professional Microsoft Teams subscription service supporting multiple platforms. The requirement is a software subscription service rather than goods, construction or consultancy, classified under CPV 79980000 for subscription services. The buyer is based at Eaton Road, West Derby, Liverpool, and the service is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement is associated with Alder Hey’s operational technology needs and covers a single requirement. Phoenix Software Limited was selected as the supplier for this subscription service. The scope indicates that businesses offering Teams subscriptions, professional software subscriptions and multi-platform access are the closest fit. The requirement is relevant to software licensing and subscription providers serving public-sector organisations.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Phoenix Software Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and relates to one completed lot. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026, with a contract period from 3 July 2026 to 3 July 2026. Its value is £12,865.47 excluding VAT and £15,438.56 including VAT. The contracting authority is Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. The awarded service is a subscription service for a professional Teams subscription across multiple platforms. The procurement was classified as a service contract and was below the relevant threshold. The award value is stated for the single awarded requirement.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Alder Hey, this award demonstrates a requirement for professional Teams subscriptions that work across multiple platforms. A credible competitor would need to supply or broker the relevant software subscription, support multi-platform use and manage the commercial and administrative requirements of an NHS foundation trust. The selected supplier was a large software company, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with established scale for this requirement. Businesses operating in public-sector software licensing, Microsoft Teams subscriptions or related subscription fulfilment are the closest comparator group. The opportunity is narrowly focused on subscription provision rather than implementation, bespoke development or wider IT services, so capability in reliable licensing and account management would be more relevant than unrelated technology expertise.
