## Summary

The Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust has concluded a procurement process for the provision of Healthroster Optima, which includes the SafeCare and NHSP Interface, through the HealthTrustEurope LLP Framework. This process, classified under the IT software package industry category, employed a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Based in Welwyn Garden City, England, the contract amounted to £370,000, with an award date of 29th May 2025, and is set to run until 28th May 2027. The tender was officially completed by the specified date of 5th May 2025.

This contractual agreement presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the IT software sector, especially those experienced in developing healthcare solutions. Although the procedure does not particularly favour small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community social enterprises (VCSEs), companies with expertise in integrating healthcare rosters can find substantial growth opportunities. The contract was awarded to Softcat, suggesting that businesses with a capacity to deliver comprehensive IT support and services within the NHS framework are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Engaging in such processes could enable firms to build a strong reputation within the public sector, particularly in the healthcare domain.
