Summary of the contracting process

Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a replacement storage disk for its Unity enterprise storage system, following the unexpected failure of the existing disk. The requirement also covers continued support for repairs and operational continuity, so the work combines replacement infrastructure with ongoing software support services. Delivery and support relate to the Trust’s operations in Bradford, with the buyer based at Bradford Royal Infirmary. The appointed supplier, Park Place Technologies Limited, is a large UK technology business based in London. This opportunity is relevant to suppliers able to provide enterprise storage replacement parts, maintain Unity systems and support associated repairs in a healthcare environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under a single completed lot. Park Place Technologies Limited was selected on 5 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 6 August 2026 to 5 August 2027. Its value is £15,821.28 excluding VAT, or £18,985.54 including VAT. The award covers software support services associated with the replacement disk and support requirement. The contract is active, with Park Place Technologies Limited as the awarded supplier.

This procurement demonstrates a defined NHS requirement for specialist support of Unity enterprise storage, including access to compatible replacement disks and the ability to respond to unexpected hardware failure. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would combine enterprise storage maintenance with software and hardware support, understand repair and replacement processes, and be able to protect operational continuity for a hospital trust. Credibility would come from proven experience supporting Unity systems, reliable access to replacement parts, responsive fault resolution and the capacity to provide support throughout a service period. Technology providers with established healthcare or other business-critical infrastructure support capabilities may find this buyer and requirement useful when assessing similar future requirements.
