Summary of the contracting process

NHS England commissioned a proof of concept for network and connectivity technology to help frontline NHS staff working in the community access NHS systems remotely. The work is telecommunications services, delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on testing technology for remote access rather than a broader connectivity programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gamma Telecom Ltd. NHS England used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026, runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £11,250 excluding VAT (£13,500 including VAT). It was a single-lot procurement. The published award data does not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria.

This purchase indicates NHS England’s demand for proof-of-concept telecommunications technology that enables community-based frontline staff to access NHS systems remotely. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need relevant network and connectivity expertise, and the ability to demonstrate how its technology supports secure, practical remote access in a frontline healthcare setting. Gamma Telecom Ltd was selected through a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not show how competing suppliers would have been evaluated.
