Summary of the contracting process

Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust appointed a provider for Assure HR Case, a bespoke, cloud-based employee case-management system configured to the Trust’s human-resources policies, procedures and processes. The requirement is for HR software and associated IT support services, including a system tailored to handling employee cases. The work is for the Trust and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement used the NHS Workforce Alliance Workforce Technology Systems framework. This is a specialist HR technology requirement rather than a general-purpose software purchase: suppliers need to provide a cloud-based employee case-management product that can be configured around an NHS trust’s established HR processes.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust selected Allocate Software Limited through a selective, below-threshold award under the NHS Workforce Alliance Workforce Technology Systems framework; the process was not a competitive call-off. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 9 September 2028, with an option for the Trust to extend it by a further twelve months, to a maximum end date of 9 September 2029. The contract value is £91,334.77 excluding VAT (£109,601.72 including VAT). The award date is not stated. The procurement comprised one lot. No detailed evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s future HR technology requirement, the awarded contract shows demand for a cloud-based employee case-management system configured to a hospital trust’s own HR policies, procedures and processes. A credible competitor would need an established HR case-management product, the ability to tailor workflows and settings to the customer’s operating requirements, and the capability to provide the associated IT services and support. Experience delivering and maintaining cloud software in a complex healthcare organisation would be relevant to demonstrating fit with this requirement. The Trust used the NHS Workforce Alliance Workforce Technology Systems framework and awarded through that route without a competitive call-off, so suppliers would need access to the relevant framework route to compete on the same basis.
