Summary of the contracting process

NHS Ayrshire & Arran has completed a procurement process for software licences involving Microsoft Server and SQL Server products. The procurement is classified under the 'health' industry category and is aimed at supporting the operations within the Ayrshire and Arran region. This contract award was processed through a limited procurement method, specifically a direct award using the framework for Software Value Added Reseller Services (SVARS). The procedure did not require prior publication of a call for competition, highlighting its urgency and specificity under the GPA and TED_CA_TYPE classifications. The contract, signed on 5th February 2026, is active with a value of £275,417.52 GBP involving the supplier Computacenter.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in IT and software services to engage with healthcare organisations such as NHS Ayrshire & Arran. The direct award strategy via framework SP-21-034 serves well-established companies with existing credentials as resellers and value-added service providers, given the specificity involved in the software solutions required. Although the contract was awarded to Computacenter, this type of project may draw interest from businesses versed in providing bespoke or highly specialised software systems that cater to health sector needs. As the procurement stage is complete, insights from this award could inform similar opportunities within the public health procurement landscape.
