Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust is buying support and maintenance for its Easy Reporting payroll system. The work is software maintenance and repair, keeping the payroll reporting system supported and maintained. The Trust is based in Stoke-on-Trent; the procurement data does not identify a separate service delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Giltbyte Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, for three years. Its stated value is £65,097 excluding VAT, or £78,116.40 including VAT. The contract is active. The award covers the Easy Reporting payroll system support and maintenance service.

This award shows that the Trust buys continuing support and maintenance for its payroll reporting software, rather than a new system implementation. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work with this buyer would need credible capability to maintain and repair payroll software and provide reliable ongoing system support over a multi-year service. Giltbyte Limited, an SME, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition. That route and outcome indicate the value of being able to demonstrate a close fit with the Trust’s existing system and support requirement. The opportunity is relevant to software support providers with payroll-system maintenance experience and the capacity to sustain service for a large NHS trust.
