Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured an annual subscription to the Transform Productivity Centre package, a software and IT service. The requirement is for access to the package rather than a described development or implementation project. The buying organisation is the Trust, based in Liverpool. The procurement identifies one lot and classifies the service as IT services, including consulting, software development, internet and support. The named package and annual subscription fee indicate a recurring software subscription requirement for the Trust’s productivity centre. The available description does not explain the package’s functions or the specific productivity activities it supports, so the clear area of relevance is suppliers able to provide this named software package and its associated subscription service to an NHS organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Bottomline Technologies Ltd. The Trust used a direct award without competition, described as below threshold. The contract was signed on 22 April 2026 and runs from 24 April 2026 to 23 April 2027. Its gross value is £24,277.12, with a stated net value of £20,230.93. There was one lot and one supplier; the award is active and the contract is active. The procurement data gives no separate evaluation criteria or competitive scoring basis: the supplier was selected through the direct, non-competitive route. This outcome records the Trust’s purchase of an annual Transform Productivity Centre package subscription from Bottomline Technologies Ltd.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys an annual subscription to the Transform Productivity Centre package through a direct award without competition. The selected supplier was Bottomline Technologies Ltd, a large company, indicating that the Trust accepted a supplier able to provide this specific software package as a subscription. A credible competitor for a future requirement of the same kind would need to offer the named package, or be positioned to supply an equivalent that meets the Trust’s productivity-centre needs, and support an annual subscription arrangement. The published requirement does not set out technical capabilities, service levels, accreditations, implementation duties or minimum supplier capacity, so the demonstrated commercial fit is principally product and subscription provision to this NHS Trust.
