UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust procured enhanced SolarWinds network support and maintenance. This is an IT services requirement covering software, internet and network support, focused on maintaining and supporting the Trust’s SolarWinds environment. The buyer is based at Mole Business Park in Leatherhead, Surrey. The work is relevant to suppliers providing specialist SolarWinds support, network monitoring, systems maintenance and associated technical services. It is a service rather than a goods supply or construction project, and the requirement concerns ongoing operational support for the Trust’s network infrastructure. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement for the Trust, rather than being divided into multiple separately described service areas or lots.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct procedure below the threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and awarded to LOOP1 UK LIMITED. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £21,448.35 excluding VAT, or £25,738.02 including VAT. The award covers the single SolarWinds network maintenance requirement. The evaluation outcome was a direct selection rather than a competitive comparison of bids. The awarded contract is active, and the tender itself has reached completion. This outcome shows the Trust used a below-threshold route to appoint an IT support supplier for the defined one-year service period.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers with demonstrable expertise in SolarWinds environments, network monitoring and enhanced technical support. A credible competitor would need to maintain network-management software reliably, diagnose faults, provide timely operational assistance and support the customer’s existing infrastructure rather than deliver a standalone technology installation. Experience of delivering managed IT or network maintenance services to NHS or other public-sector organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where it can evidence service continuity, responsive incident handling and suitably qualified technical staff. The appointed supplier is an SME, indicating that specialist smaller providers can deliver this type of focused support. Suppliers should track this buyer’s recurring need for SolarWinds maintenance and build evidence around this specific service.
