## Summary

Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has procured a renewal of the Platform+ benchmarking tool for shared-service NHS trusts. This is a procurement software package: the requirement is to continue providing access to a benchmarking platform, rather than to supply general-purpose software or unrelated consultancy. The buying organisation is Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, and the service is associated with the Trust’s London location. The stated scope is renewal of the existing tool for shared services; the process does not break the requirement into separate products or describe additional implementation work. The purchase sits in the goods category, although the commercial requirement is continued use of a software platform.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to NEC Software Solutions UK Limited through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 17 September 2026. The award value is £229,392, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026. The overall estimated procurement value was also £229,392. The process identifies one requirement, with no separate lots stated. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. No award-scoring criteria are recorded, so the published information does not establish how bids were compared beyond identifying the framework call-off route.

For suppliers competing for a future renewal, this award demonstrates an established requirement for a benchmarking platform serving shared-service NHS trusts. A credible competitor would need to provide software that supports benchmarking in a shared-services context and can be maintained as an ongoing platform, rather than offering a one-off software sale. The incumbent, NEC Software Solutions UK Limited, was selected through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need a route onto an applicable framework and the ability to deliver through its call-off process. The buyer’s suitability position indicates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises could participate; the successful supplier is recorded as a large company. The scope points to relevant software capability and experience supporting trust-wide or shared-service users, without setting out specific technical qualifications.
