UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured a licence management software package for its signage system. The requirement covers NowSignage licences and associated programming services, supporting the management and operation of digital signage. It concerns 24 licences for use across the Trust’s requirements, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust based in Bebington, Wirral. This is a software and related technical services requirement rather than a physical equipment supply or construction project. Businesses operating in digital signage, software licensing, licence administration, programming or related technical support would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can support an NHS organisation’s signage estate and deliver services remotely or within the UK.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed, with the contract awarded to PARITY COMPUTERS LIMITED. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2029, for three years. Its value is £10,680 excluding VAT, or £12,816 including VAT. The award covers the signage licence management software package and relates to 24 NowSignage licences. The recorded procurement category is services, with programming services as the classification. The outcome therefore reflects a single-supplier award made without a competitive tender process.

This procurement shows demand from an NHS cancer centre for managed digital signage software licences supported by programming capability. A credible future competitor would need to supply or administer NowSignage, or an equivalent signage platform, and demonstrate that it can manage a multi-licence estate of this scale reliably. Relevant capability includes software licence provisioning and renewal, configuration, user or device administration, troubleshooting, updates and technical support for digital signage environments. Experience delivering programming or integration services alongside licensing would strengthen a supplier’s position. Suppliers should also be able to work with a public healthcare organisation, understand operational continuity requirements in an NHS setting and provide clear service management for a distributed signage estate. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can suit a focused specialist as well as a large technology provider.
