## Summary

The procurement process for the "NHSBSA - C401092 - Desktop Container Environment" was conducted by the NHS Business Services Authority, based in Newcastle Upon Tyne. This project falls under the industry category of Software package and information systems, classified under CPV code 48000000. The contract was awarded through a call-off from a framework agreement via Crown Commercial Services (CCS) RM6098. The tender was completed with the award status marked as complete. The procurement stage was at the "Award" phase by 19th December 2025, with the contract period running from 18th December 2025 to 17th December 2027, valued at £182,988. The delivery location is specified within the United Kingdom, with the postal code NE15 8NY.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in software package and information system services, especially for those specialising in containerised application development software. The NHS Business Services Authority's procurement methodology through a selective process off a framework agreement provides a structured environment that can offer growth potential for SMEs, although it is less suited for VCSE organisations. Large-scale businesses like XMA LIMITED, which was the successful supplier, are particularly well-positioned to engage in such competitive framework procurements. This tender is an illustration of how businesses can leverage government contracts to secure substantial work within the public sector, underpinning growth and development in the technology services market.
