Summary of the contracting process

QE Facilities Ltd, based at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead, procured dashboard analytics hosting and software licences for its facilities operations. The requirement covers hosted dashboard analytics and licence management software, providing the technology needed to run and manage analytical dashboards. The procurement is categorised as goods, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public authority responsible for the facilities organisation, and the named requirement is focused on the continuing provision of an analytics platform rather than consultancy, construction or general information technology support. Businesses whose offering combines hosted dashboard analytics with software licensing, and which can support a UK public-sector facilities environment, are the closest fit. The requirement is a single completed lot, covering the buyer’s stated dashboard analytics hosting and licensing need.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition because it was below the applicable threshold. FM:SYSTEMS EUROPE LIMITED was selected as the supplier on 22 February 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 22 February 2026 to 22 February 2027. Its value is £22,363.77 excluding VAT, or £26,836.53 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for dashboard analytics hosting and licences, including licence management software. The process used a direct award route rather than an open or competitive tender. The recorded outcome is an active award and active contract, showing that the buyer proceeded with the selected supplier for the full stated contract period. The requirement was assessed and awarded as a goods procurement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined need within QE Facilities Ltd for hosted dashboard analytics and licence management software. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide reliable analytics hosting, supply and administer the relevant software licences, and support the operational needs of a public-sector facilities organisation. The procurement also shows that this buyer has used a straightforward below-threshold purchasing route for a focused, single-lot technology requirement, rather than commissioning a broad transformation or consultancy programme. An SME software or technology provider with a product that directly covers dashboard analytics and licence management would be well aligned with the requirement. Evidence of dependable service delivery and effective licence administration would strengthen its position when competing for comparable work.
