Summary of the contracting process

The Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process titled "DBTH- ARSAC License," focusing on the goods category, specifically license management software. The procurement was conducted using a direct method below the threshold, meaning it was concluded without competition. The main office is located at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, Armthorpe Road, Doncaster, in the United Kingdom. The contract has been active since 1st August 2026 and will run until 31st July 2027, with a gross contract value of £1,037,856.00. The tender process was initiated due to the retirement of the current ARSAC license holder, concluding with the award in August 2026.

This procurement provides growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software development, particularly those offering license management packages. Companies with experience in serving public health organisations or working within the constraints of direct procurement processes would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The successful supplier for this contract is NS SERVICES PVT LTD, a large-scale business located in London, suggesting that similar enterprises could benefit from participating in such procurement processes. This contract highlights the importance of maintaining robust industry connections and a keen understanding of public sector needs to secure governmental contracts like this one.
