UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured website development and hosting services to establish and support a website for the Authority. The requirement falls within IT services, covering software development, internet services and support. The buying organisation is the NHS Trust, based at Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln. The procurement was for services rather than goods or construction works, and was structured as a single requirement. The work is therefore relevant to suppliers providing end-to-end website delivery, hosting and ongoing technical support for a public-sector healthcare organisation. It may suit agencies or technology firms able to combine website development with dependable hosting and support arrangements for an organisational website.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 1 March 2026 and awarded on 2 March 2026 to Frank Design Limited. The contract value is £78,380 excluding VAT, or £94,056 including VAT. The contract period runs from 2 March 2026 to 31 March 2032, with a possible maximum extension to 31 March 2033. The contract includes one 12-month extension, anticipated from the go-live anniversary on 1 April 2027. The tender had one completed lot, and the requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route. The selected supplier is a Manchester-based SME.

This award shows that United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust buys a combined website development and hosting service through a limited competition, with the requirement covering both delivery of a new website and its continuing technical environment. A credible future competitor would need practical capability across website design or development, software implementation, hosting, internet infrastructure and user or technical support. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate that they can take responsibility for an organisational website beyond initial build, maintaining reliable hosting and support over a multi-year service. The award to an SME indicates that a smaller specialist provider can satisfy this type of NHS requirement, provided it can offer the necessary technical capacity, service continuity and delivery assurance.
