## Summary

The Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust has procured DiligentOne Platform software, described as Diligent Boardbooks. This is an IT software purchase for the Trust, with delivery in Harlow, Essex, indicated by the CM20 postcode. The Trust is based in Welwyn Garden City. The procurement was made through the North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative Total Technology Solutions framework, rather than as a standalone software competition. The requirement is for a software package; the published information does not describe configuration, implementation, support or other services as part of the purchase.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Softcat Plc. The award was made on 27 July 2026, following a selective framework call-off procedure. The awarded value is £76,000. The stated estimated value range was £70,000 to £76,000. The contract period runs from 4 August 2026 to 3 August 2029. The tender deadline was 13 July 2026. The procurement was not divided into lots. The award information identifies the successful supplier but does not set out a scored evaluation basis or detailed selection criteria. The Trust used its Total Technology Solutions framework to place the order.

This award demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for DiligentOne Platform, described as Diligent Boardbooks, bought through an established technology framework. Softcat, a large supplier, secured the purchase, so competitors targeting a comparable requirement would need to be able to supply the platform and compete through the relevant framework route. The procurement was treated as a goods purchase rather than a wider services contract; suppliers whose offer centres on delivering software products are therefore the closest fit. The Trust’s requirement is a defined platform purchase, not evidence here of a broader digital transformation programme. For businesses tracking this buyer’s recurring software needs, the award provides a concrete example of the product category and procurement route it has used.
