Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured the renewal of its Qlik software licence and associated annual maintenance for the 2026/27 period. This is a software and information-systems requirement, covering continued access to and maintenance of Qlik technology rather than new software development, construction or physical goods. The buying organisation is an NHS foundation trust based in Basildon, serving Mid and South Essex. The requirement is relevant to software publishers, authorised Qlik partners, licensing specialists and managed-service providers able to support an NHS organisation’s existing Qlik estate. The procurement relates to one requirement and one supplier arrangement, with the contracted service supporting the Trust’s ongoing use of Qlik software and information systems.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. IQVIA LTD was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £26,867.10 excluding VAT, or £32,240.52 including VAT. The contract is active. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as goods, classified under software package and information systems. It was not divided into competing lots in practical terms: the single lot is complete and the award relates to that lot. The available outcome records do not set out a scored evaluation basis or a separate award date.

For a supplier assessing future work with this NHS trust, the procurement demonstrates recurring demand for continuity of an established Qlik software environment, including licence renewal and annual maintenance. Credible competitors would need the ability to supply or renew Qlik licences, maintain the platform covered by the requirement, and provide dependable support throughout a full annual service period. Experience working with complex public-sector or healthcare information systems would help a supplier understand the operational importance of uninterrupted access, licence compliance, support responsiveness and controlled service changes. Relevant capability may come from Qlik authorisation, software asset and subscription management, technical support teams, and evidence of maintaining comparable analytics or information-system estates for NHS or other large organisations. The requirement indicates a modest, focused annual maintenance engagement rather than a major implementation programme.
