## Summary

NHS England has procured Slack Enterprise Plus software subscriptions to support its use of Slack. This is a reprocurement of licensing subscriptions, classified as software packages and information systems. The buying organisation is NHS England, based in Leeds; the listed delivery location is Leeds, England. The requirement was competed under Lot 1 of the Back Office Software 2 framework. It covers subscription licences rather than software development or a wider IT service, so it is most relevant to software licensing resellers and suppliers able to provide Slack Enterprise Plus subscriptions to a large public-sector buyer.

The procurement is complete and Phoenix Software Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 30 September 2026, following a further competition under Lot 1 of the Back Office Software 2 framework, a call-off using a selective process. The awarded value is £2,970,255.96, covering an initial one-year period from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with options to extend for up to two further years. The tender deadline was 3 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots beyond the framework lot are identified. The published procurement information does not describe the evaluation criteria or their weighting.

This award confirms NHS England’s demand for Slack Enterprise Plus subscriptions and shows that it sourced them through a further competition under an established software framework, rather than a standalone open tender. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply and support enterprise Slack licences at substantial public-sector scale and be able to compete through the relevant framework route. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers were considered eligible to compete. The successful supplier, Phoenix Software Limited, is described as a large business; that is the profile of the selected provider, not a stated minimum size requirement. The scope is specifically Slack licensing, so the relevant commercial strength is access to these subscriptions and the capacity to manage a sizeable licensing contract.
