## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the NHS North of England Commissioning Support Unit (Hosted by NHSE), involved the award of a contract for a BMC Helix license management software package. The procurement relates to the goods category within the industry, specifically for license management, and it is positioned in Durham, United Kingdom. The process was conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement reached the award stage on 25th April 2025, with the tender period having ended on 21st March 2025. This contract, valued at £163,420.29, will commence on 1st January 2026 and conclude on 31st December 2026.

This tender presents an opportunity for business growth, particularly for businesses in the goods supply sector and those specialising in license management software. The procurement process's selective method, via a framework agreement, and its preference for SMEs indicate an advantageous circumstance for smaller enterprise participation. With the award granted to Phoenix Software Limited, large software firms may find opportunities in forming partnerships or preparing for similar tenders. The NHS's continual need for digital solutions signifies a consistent demand in the healthcare support sector, offering substantial potential for businesses equipped to meet such technological requirements.
