## Summary

NHS England procured website hosting and support services for the hee.nhs.uk and healthcareers.nhs.uk websites. The requirement covers ongoing technical hosting and support for NHS England’s online presence, classified under software packages and information systems (CPV 48000000). The main procurement category is services. Delivery is associated with NHS England’s offices at 7–8 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4AP, and the wider United Kingdom. The buyer is NHS England. The requirement is relevant to businesses providing managed website hosting, website operations, technical support and related digital infrastructure services, particularly those able to support public-sector websites and maintain reliable online services across more than one domain. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NHS England used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 9 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Reading Room Ltd on 21 August 2026 for £168,336 including the stated maximum value; the stated minimum value was £84,168. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Reading Room Ltd is the selected supplier and is recorded as an SME. The award is active. The published evaluation basis is the procurement process used through the framework call-off; the available procurement information does not set out separate technical, quality or price weightings.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting NHS England’s future website hosting and support requirements. A credible competitor would need to deliver managed hosting and dependable technical support for two public-facing NHS websites, with the operational capacity to maintain service continuity across multiple domains. Experience of supporting established, high-profile websites would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside practical capability in website infrastructure, monitoring, maintenance, incident response and ongoing technical assistance. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large systems integrator. Suppliers already appointed to the relevant framework, or able to access an appropriate framework route, would be better placed to compete for a comparable call-off.
