UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency, acting for the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, purchased an Oracle University Cloud Applications learning subscription for authorised staff. The subscription gives users access to Oracle’s official online training platform for Oracle Cloud services, including regularly updated learning content, role-based training pathways, hands-on practice labs and certification preparation materials. The purpose is to develop and maintain the skills needed to use, support and optimise MaPS systems that run on Oracle Cloud. This is a software-related training and learning service, delivered online for staff in the United Kingdom. Oracle Corporation UK Limited was selected to provide the subscription.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The UK Health Security Agency used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. There was one lot. Oracle Corporation UK Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 27 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. The contract value is £14,362.22 excluding VAT (£17,234.66 including VAT). The purchase covers a 12-month subscription to Oracle University Cloud Applications learning. The published procurement information does not describe separate scored evaluation criteria; the route was a non-competitive award. The supplier’s service supports staff learning in Oracle Cloud systems, with training, practical labs and certification preparation.

This award shows that the UK Health Security Agency buys vendor-specific Oracle Cloud training subscriptions to develop staff capability in systems it operates. A credible supplier for a returning requirement would need to provide authorised access to Oracle’s official learning platform, current content aligned with Oracle Cloud services, role-based training pathways, practical labs and certification preparation. The offering must support the skills needed to use, maintain and optimise MaPS systems built on Oracle Cloud. The award went to Oracle Corporation UK Limited through a direct, below-threshold purchase without competition, so the relevant commercial strength is the ability to supply Oracle’s own training subscription rather than a generic learning platform. The requirement was a single subscription supporting authorised staff, rather than a broad training programme.
