Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust procured 97 staff helpdesk subscription licences. The requirement is for software access rather than helpdesk support services. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust, based in Colchester.

The contract was awarded to A2Z Cloud Ltd and is recorded as active. It was called off from an existing compliant framework without a further competition. The stated award criterion was price. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026, with a recorded value of £40,740. The procurement was organised as one lot for the 97 subscriptions; that lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For future requirements from this trust, relevant suppliers would need to provide staff helpdesk subscription licences at a scale of 97 licences. The route used here was a call-off from an existing compliant framework, with no further competition, and price was the stated award criterion. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable work would therefore need suitable framework access and a commercially competitive offer for this subscription requirement.
