UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured Oracle Database Enterprise Edition with Active Data Guard, covering a processor perpetual licence and a support update. This is an IT software and support requirement, involving the supply and ongoing support of enterprise database technology. The buyer is the Liverpool-based NHS Foundation Trust, and the service is for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to software suppliers, Oracle licensing specialists, database technology providers and IT support businesses able to provide Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and Active Data Guard. It may also suit organisations that support critical public-sector or healthcare database environments and can manage the associated licensing and technical support obligations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One supplier was selected: Trustmarque Solutions Limited. The award was made on 7 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027. Its value is £12,098.64 excluding VAT, or £14,518.37 including VAT. The procurement had one completed lot. The stated evaluation basis was the buyer’s direct award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active and concerns a software package for Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and Active Data Guard, including the perpetual processor licence and support update.

This award indicates demand from Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust for Oracle enterprise database licensing and support delivered through a direct, below-threshold purchasing route. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement in future would need credible capability to provide Oracle Database Enterprise Edition and Active Data Guard, including processor-based perpetual licensing and support updates. Relevant experience would include managing software licensing accurately, supplying vendor-backed support and maintaining database availability or resilience technology. Businesses with established public-sector or healthcare customers, strong understanding of procurement routes for lower-value technology purchases and the capacity to support a live NHS database environment would be well placed to demonstrate credibility when this requirement returns to market.
