Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust procured an anonymous reporting platform for use across its organisation. The requirement is a software service covering an IT software package and associated software support services (CPV 48517000 and 72261000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for the Trust’s healthcare operations. This is a digital reporting solution rather than construction, equipment supply or general consultancy, so it is most relevant to providers of confidential or anonymous reporting platforms, related software and supporting services. The named buying organisation is University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, based in Leicester. The requirement was handled as a single procurement lot and concerns an operational platform supported by the supplier during the contract period.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. Cultureshift Communication Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 9 February 2026, runs from 10 February 2026 to 9 February 2027, and is valued at £28,000 excluding VAT (£33,600 including VAT). The process covered one lot. The award concerns software support services and an IT software package for the anonymous reporting platform. The published outcome records a completed procurement and an active contract, so this is an awarded requirement rather than an opportunity for new submissions. The award route indicates that the Trust placed the contract directly without a competitive tender.

This procurement shows demand from a large NHS trust for a dedicated anonymous reporting platform, with associated software support, over an operational contract period. Competitors looking to serve this buyer would need a credible platform for receiving reports anonymously and securely, together with dependable support for implementation, maintenance and day-to-day service continuity. The requirement is suited to established software providers or specialist reporting-platform businesses able to supply both the technology and the supporting service rather than software-only resellers. Relevant experience would include delivering confidential reporting systems to complex organisations, handling sensitive information appropriately and supporting users across a healthcare environment. The direct, below-threshold route also shows that a supplier may need a clear, readily deployable proposition that can be assessed without a full competition.
