## Summary

NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care procured a renewal of its Smart Messaging Service, classified as mobile-telephone services (CPV 64212000). The requirement is a communications platform service supporting smart messaging for the integrated care organisation. It is a services contract delivered in Derby, at the DE1 3QT location, within the East Midlands. The buying organisation is identified in the procurement as DE1 2FS and the tender title identifies the NHS Derby & Derbyshire Integrated Care organisation. This is a technology and telecommunications service opportunity rather than a supply of physical equipment or construction work. The requirement concerns continuation of an existing messaging capability, indicating an established organisational need for managed communications services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to British Telecommunications Limited. The award value is £725,834.08. The contract runs from 28 March 2026 to 27 March 2027. It was conducted as a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service RM6116 Network Services 3 framework, Lot 3b, Communication Platform as a Service. The tender submission deadline was 27 March 2026 at 14:00 UTC. The award is active and covers the full requirement, with one supplier identified. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open standalone competition. The procurement recorded the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates substantial NHS demand for a managed smart messaging and communications platform in Derby. Suppliers competing when the requirement next returns would need credible mobile telecommunications and communications-platform capability, with the operational capacity to support an integrated care organisation throughout a continuous service period. Experience delivering dependable messaging services at NHS or similarly complex public-sector scale would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where service continuity, resilience, security, support and integration with existing communications arrangements are important. The route to market is also significant: relevant suppliers would need access to, or a strategy for participating through, the appropriate Crown Commercial Service network-services framework and its Communication Platform as a Service category. The incumbent is a large telecommunications provider, indicating the scale and maturity expected.
