Summary of the contracting process

Midland Heart Limited bought a one-year renewal of its Onboard Board Intelligence Platform for board packs. The service covers access to board-pack software and associated licence management. The buyer is Midland Heart Limited, based in Birmingham. The awarded service is identified as licence management software development services (CPV 72212218), with delivery recorded in the United Kingdom. The procurement was for a single lot and relates to the buyer’s board-pack requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Midland Heart Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Passageways (UK) Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award date is not recorded; the contract was signed on 20 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The contract value is £25,000 excluding VAT, or £30,000 including VAT. The purchase is described as a one-year renewal. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

The award shows demand at Midland Heart for a continuing board intelligence platform and board-pack service, supplied through a renewal rather than a competed procurement. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable software access and licence management suited to the buyer’s board-pack needs, and support continuity across the service period. Passageways (UK) Ltd, an SME, was selected for this requirement, showing that a supplier of smaller scale could deliver it. Suppliers with experience providing board-management or board-pack platforms, managing software licences and servicing organisational governance workflows would be well placed to compete if this requirement returns to market.
