UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured a web-based PM3 project management tool licence. The requirement is for access to project management software, classified as a licence management software package, for the Trust’s project management needs. The buyer is the NHS hospital trust based in Watford, Hertfordshire. The procurement covers one lot and concerns a software licence rather than associated works or a wider service programme. The recorded scope is brief: it identifies the PM3 tool and online delivery, without setting out specific functions, user numbers or implementation tasks. The requirement is therefore most relevant to suppliers able to provide or license PM3 for use by a healthcare organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bestoutcome Limited through a direct award below the competition threshold, without competition. The award is active, and the contract is also active. It was signed on 30 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £17,808 excluding VAT (£21,369.60 including VAT). There was one lot, awarded to a single supplier. The published procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or selection requirements, so the award route is the key process detail for understanding how the supplier was selected. The contract is for provision of the web-based PM3 project management tool licence to the Trust.

This award shows that West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust buys a web-based PM3 project management tool licence, and selected Bestoutcome Limited to provide it through a direct award without competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar future requirement would need to demonstrate that they can supply or license PM3 itself, rather than offer unrelated project management consultancy or general software. The requirement appears focused on a defined software licence for a single NHS trust, rather than a multi-lot technology programme. Credibility is therefore likely to depend on access to the required PM3 product and the ability to provide it to a healthcare organisation. The procurement provides no specific evidence of technical standards, accreditations, service levels or minimum supplier capacity, so these should not be assumed as established requirements.
