UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured an ARSAC licence provider to replace the Trust’s existing licence holder, who was retiring. ARSAC relates to the administration of radioactive substances and associated regulatory licensing within healthcare, although the procurement data does not describe the operational activities required from the provider. The awarded requirement is classified as a licence management software package, indicating a technology-enabled licensing service rather than general hospital supplies or clinical treatment. The work is for the Trust, based at Doncaster Royal Infirmary in Doncaster, and is connected with the Trust’s wider hospital operations. Businesses with experience supporting NHS organisations with ARSAC licensing and licence-management systems would find this requirement most closely aligned with their capabilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. NS SERVICES PVT LTD was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The award is active and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £86,488 excluding VAT and £1,037,856 including VAT. The stated subject is an ARSAC licence provider service, with the associated classification being licence management software. The procurement was undertaken to replace the incumbent arrangement following the retirement of the existing ARSAC licence holder. The published outcome records one completed lot and one active award linked to the contract.

This award demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for continuity of ARSAC licence provision supported by licence-management software. A future competitor would need to understand the regulatory and operational context of ARSAC within a teaching-hospital environment, maintain reliable licensing records and processes, and provide a service capable of taking over from an established licence holder without disrupting Trust operations. Relevant suppliers are likely to be specialist licence-management providers, healthcare compliance businesses or technology firms with demonstrable experience in radioactive-substances administration and NHS service delivery. Credibility would depend on showing that staff can manage the relevant regulatory responsibilities, support hospital users and maintain accurate, dependable licensing information throughout the service.
