UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust procured licences for access to its Ensemble E2 system, a computer-related service. The requirement is for licensed system access rather than a wider described technology or implementation project. The buyer is the Walton Centre, an NHS foundation trust based in Fazakerley, Liverpool. The procurement is recorded as one lot and covers the Ensemble E2 licensing requirement for the Trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The Trust made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. Intersystems was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £13,948.95 excluding VAT (£16,735.74 including VAT). The award covers the single lot for Ensemble E2 licences. No scored evaluation criteria are recorded; the contract was awarded through the non-competitive route.

This award demonstrates demand at the Walton Centre for continued licensed access to the Ensemble E2 system, on a relatively small, single-system scale. Intersystems, the system provider, won through a direct award without competition, so the outcome does not establish a competitive specification or show that a broader IT services supplier could readily replace the incumbent. A supplier seeking to compete if this same licensing requirement returns would need to provide the required Ensemble E2 access and demonstrate it can support the Trust’s system-use needs. The procurement offers evidence of a recurring software licensing requirement at this NHS trust, rather than evidence of demand for wider IT support, implementation or other technology services.
