UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust is extending its Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, including associated software licensing and services. The system supports the Trust’s financial and operational systems. The extension is intended to maintain continuity of the existing Oracle environment while the Trust and The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust review a joint ERP solution, including a shared ledger and collaborative financial management. The work concerns business and accounting software rather than a new system implementation. The procurement identifies delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the Trust selected Oracle Corporation UK Limited through a direct award. The stated reason was technical: changing supplier would cause significant inconvenience and duplicate costs, while the existing Oracle environment needs to continue during the joint-solution review. The award is recorded as pending. Its value is £515,131.65 excluding VAT (£618,157.98 including VAT). The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 1 October 2028, with signature scheduled for 9 October 2026. The procurement is a single lot. The published information does not give a separate evaluation score or award-criteria breakdown; the stated basis for the direct award is continuity with the existing supplier for technical reasons.

This outcome indicates demand at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust for continued support of its Oracle ERP environment, including licensing and services that keep financial and operational systems running. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable expertise in enterprise resource planning and accounting software, and the capacity to provide dependable ongoing support without disrupting the Trust’s systems. Suppliers should also be able to address the operational and technical challenges of maintaining continuity while organisations consider a shared ledger and collaborative financial management arrangements. The award went to the existing Oracle supplier on technical continuity grounds, so evidence of compatibility with the incumbent environment and a practical transition or continuity plan would be commercially important.
