UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust procured an Oracle software update licence and support service. The requirement covers ongoing software licence support for Oracle products, classified as software support services. The buying organisation is based in Liverpool, and delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a focused technology support requirement rather than a wider software development, implementation or hardware procurement opportunity. It is relevant to suppliers that provide Oracle licence support, software updates and associated vendor or reseller services to NHS or other public-sector organisations. The selected supplier was Trustmarque Solutions Limited, based in York, indicating that the requirement was delivered through a UK-based technology services business.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and was divided into one completed lot. Trustmarque Solutions Limited received the active award for the Oracle software support requirement. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 13 August 2027. Its value is £12,098.64 excluding VAT and £14,518.37 including VAT. The award covers the single lot and software support services. The published outcome confirms the selected supplier and the resulting contract period, rather than an opportunity still progressing through supplier selection.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for Oracle licence support and software updates within an NHS foundation trust. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements would need practical capability in Oracle licensing and support, including maintaining access to updates and providing dependable support throughout a short, defined service period. The award went to a large technology services company, so competitors should be able to demonstrate sufficient operational capacity to manage public-sector service delivery and the administration associated with Oracle support. Relevant positioning would be as an Oracle support provider, authorised reseller or technology services business able to deliver UK-wide support and work with NHS organisations. The requirement is narrower than general IT support and is best suited to Oracle-focused specialists.
