UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust bought an engineering support service for its EUC environment, described as support services for personal computers. The requirement covers engineering and end-user computing support delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is based at Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool. The service is relevant to businesses providing operational IT support for personal computers and related end-user computing environments, particularly suppliers able to support a public-sector healthcare organisation. The procurement concerns services rather than the supply of hardware, construction or general consultancy. The selected provider was Max20 Project Solutions Limited, an Altrincham-based small and medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement was suitable for an SME-scale specialist provider.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Alder Hey used a direct procedure below the relevant threshold without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to Max20 Project Solutions Limited. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 18 September 2026. Its value is £14,740.53 excluding VAT, or £17,688.64 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The service was evaluated through a non-competitive direct award route, so businesses should understand that this outcome was not the result of an open tender or competitive selection process. The requirement falls below the applicable procurement threshold.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined need at Alder Hey for specialist engineering and end-user computing support, delivered at a small, focused service scale. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in supporting personal computers and the wider EUC environment, with the capacity to provide responsive technical services rather than only supplying equipment. Experience of working reliably within a healthcare setting would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where service continuity, controlled access and support for staff devices matter. An SME provider has won this requirement, showing that the work can suit a specialist business rather than requiring the scale of a major national systems integrator.
