## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust procured eRostering software: HealthRoster Optima supplied as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product. The requirement is for rostering software for the Trust, with delivery associated with Manchester, including the M20 4BX location. This is a software supply requirement rather than a works contract or a general IT services procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat plc. The Trust used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 March 2024 at 12:00 UTC, and the award was dated 30 March 2024. The awarded value was £257,315. The contract period runs from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2027. The published procurement details identify HealthRoster Optima as the product and the framework call-off as the route; no evaluation basis is stated in the supplied information.

This award shows that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust buys SaaS eRostering software, specifically HealthRoster Optima, through a framework call-off. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns will need to be credible in supplying and supporting health rostering software in a SaaS model, and able to serve an NHS foundation trust. The selected supplier was Softcat plc, a large supplier. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to software providers and resellers with a suitable health rostering product and the capacity to deliver it through a framework route.
