UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust bought software licences and related subscription services. The requirement covers MPL and software licences, including network operating system software packages and subscription services. The procurement is for services rather than physical works or goods. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool. This is relevant to software vendors, licensing specialists, subscription providers and businesses that supply network operating system software to NHS or other public-sector organisations. The requirement centres on supplying software and associated subscription access for the Trust’s operational needs, rather than software development, consultancy, construction or general IT support.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. SCHEIDT & BACHMANN (UK) LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 5 June 2026 and runs from 5 July 2026 to 5 July 2026. Its value is £11,769.76 excluding VAT, or £14,123.71 including VAT. The award covers software subscription services and is recorded as an active contract. The process was structured as one requirement, covering network operating system software packages and subscription services. No competitive evaluation took place because the procurement was made directly without competition.

This award shows that Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust purchases network operating system software and subscription services through a direct, below-threshold route. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements would be able to provide software licences, manage subscription arrangements and supply network operating system software for a public-sector customer. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be fulfilled by a specialist smaller business rather than only a large systems integrator. Relevant competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable licensing administration, clear rights to supply the software and the operational capacity to support a Trust-level subscription service throughout its agreed term.
