UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has procured specialist technical delivery partner services for networks and connectivity supporting frontline productivity. The requirement covers development of technical standards, guidance and other technical artefacts; advisory services and subject-matter expertise; workforce capability support; and the development of connectivity-related initiatives. Services are commissioned through individual Statements of Work during the contract term, allowing specific assignments to be defined as needs arise. The buying organisation is NHS England, a central government public authority. The work concerns health-sector infrastructure and connectivity rather than the supply of clinical services, and is relevant to technology consultancies, network specialists and delivery partners able to support a national healthcare organisation with technical advice, standards and capability development.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected through a competitive further competition under the Technology Services 4 framework, Lot 1, using a selective procedure and an award under framework. Credera Limited was selected for the single lot on 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £4,000,000 excluding VAT and £4,800,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 September 2026 to 1 February 2029. A standstill period runs until 17 August 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 1 September 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the further competition process. The award is recorded as pending, while the tender itself is complete, reflecting the planned signature stage.

This award demonstrates established NHS England demand for specialist networks and connectivity capability supporting frontline productivity. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in network and connectivity architecture, technical standards, guidance and artefact development, as well as the ability to provide trusted advisory and subject-matter support. The work also favours suppliers that can strengthen workforce capability and turn technical ideas into practical connectivity initiatives. Because delivery is commissioned through individual Statements of Work, relevant suppliers would need disciplined technical delivery, the capacity to mobilise specialist teams for defined assignments, and experience working with a complex public healthcare organisation. Framework access and strong further-competition capability would also be important to compete through the same route.
