Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured hosting for the Micad application. This is an application hosting service, classified under CPV 72416000 for application service providers. The service is delivered for the Trust in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns the continued provision of the Micad application environment rather than the purchase of physical goods or construction works. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are those providing hosted application services, software hosting, or the operation and support of application platforms for NHS or other public-sector organisations. The named buyer is Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, based in Chester.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. It covered one lot. Micad Systems (U.K.) Limited was awarded the contract, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 25 June 2026 to 12 June 2027. Its value is £32,745.65 excluding VAT, or £39,294.78 including VAT. The contracted service is titled Hosting Application. Evaluation and selection were conducted through the direct, below-threshold route rather than a competitive tender. The process therefore records a completed award and an active contract for the Micad application hosting requirement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for application hosting by an NHS foundation trust, with a contract covering almost a year of service. It is relevant to suppliers that can host and operate an established application reliably for a public-sector customer, particularly where they can support a named software platform such as Micad. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show dependable application hosting, operational continuity, and the ability to work with an NHS organisation's service expectations. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that the requirement has been delivered by a specialist smaller supplier rather than only by a large technology provider. Experience supporting comparable hosted applications and public-sector customers would strengthen a competing proposition.
