## Summary

West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust procured a medical e-rostering service for its clinical workforce in Bury St Edmunds and the surrounding West Suffolk area. The requirement is for an IT software solution (CPV 48517000) that manages the scheduling, deployment and availability of doctors and other clinicians. It supports the creation and maintenance of staff rotas, leave and on-call arrangements, workforce-capacity monitoring, and safe-staffing requirements across clinical services. The system is intended to improve workforce planning, operational efficiency and compliance with working-time and staffing requirements. This is a managed healthcare workforce-scheduling requirement rather than general-purpose administrative software, so relevant suppliers need capability in clinical rostering and NHS operational environments.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Allocate Software Limited was selected on 29 April 2026 for £578,648 including the published currency, GBP. The contract runs from 30 April 2026 to 29 April 2029. The tender submission deadline was 1 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The procurement was classified as a services requirement and was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. There is one awarded supplier and one requirement covering the e-rostering system. The award is active, and the contract period begins immediately after the award date.

For suppliers assessing future healthcare workforce-technology opportunities, this award demonstrates demand from West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust for a substantial, multi-year medical e-rostering solution. A credible competitor would need a mature platform capable of handling doctors’ and clinicians’ rotas, leave, on-call arrangements, availability, workforce capacity and safe-staffing controls in one operational system. Experience supporting clinical services and working-time compliance would be important, alongside the ability to improve planning and day-to-day efficiency rather than simply provide scheduling software. The route to market was a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers should understand framework-based NHS procurement and be able to present an established, scalable service suitable for a large healthcare organisation. The requirement’s scale also favours providers with strong implementation, support and service-management capacity.
