UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust commissioned the design and development of a dedicated website for its private-patient services. The work is a digital design and software-related service, intended to provide the Trust with a distinct online presence for private patients. The buyer is the NHS Trust, based in Watford, Hertfordshire. The procurement covers one website project; no further breakdown of its features or technical scope is described. This requirement is specifically for private-patient website design and development for West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals, rather than a general website or broader NHS digital services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust awarded the single requirement directly to Frank Design Limited, without competition and below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 16 July 2027. Its stated value is £12,220 excluding VAT (£14,664 including VAT). The procurement has one lot. No award criteria or evaluation basis beyond the direct, non-competitive route is set out. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is active; the published contract period is one year.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals buys dedicated digital design and website development for its private-patient services. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show it can design and build a focused healthcare website, understand the needs of private patients, and deliver a complete project for an NHS trust. The scale indicated is a single, defined website project rather than a large multi-site digital programme. The buyer used a direct award without competition for this purchase, so suppliers can treat it as an example of the Trust's purchasing route for this particular requirement, not as evidence of an open competition or a broader framework.
