Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured a 12-month trial of Flagsmith software to provide feature flag and feature-toggling functionality for management process enhancement. The requirement is for software and information systems, rather than physical goods, construction or consultancy. Flagsmith is intended to support the controlled management of software features and usage within NHS England’s processes. The buying organisation is NHS England, a central government public authority based in London. The awarded supplier, Bullet Train Limited, is also based in London. The procurement concerns a single requirement for the NHS England environment, with the software supplied as a subscription-based service and the potential to increase usage limits during the subscription term within the contract’s stated cap.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Bullet Train Limited was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 27 January 2026 and runs from 9 February 2026 to 9 February 2027. Its value is £19,568 excluding VAT, or £23,481.60 including VAT. The contract is active and includes an option for NHS England to increase usage limits up to the contract limit during the subscription term. The recorded evaluation route is limited competition; the available procurement information does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings. The award covers software classified under CPV 48000000, software package and information systems.

This procurement indicates demand from NHS England for commercially supported feature-flagging and feature-toggling software used to improve management processes. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need a credible software product that can manage controlled feature changes, support subscription-based usage, and accommodate increased usage within agreed limits. Relevant businesses are software vendors or specialist technology providers with experience supplying information systems to public-sector organisations and demonstrating dependable service delivery over a defined subscription term. The requirement also shows that NHS England has used a below-threshold limited-competition route for this type of software, so suppliers should be able to explain their product clearly, respond efficiently to targeted procurement exercises and evidence that their platform can operate reliably in an NHS environment.
