## Summary

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured health rostering software through Allocate Health, classified as software-related services. The requirement is for software to support staff rostering at the Trust. Delivery is associated with WD18 0HB in Hertfordshire, England. The award description identifies the purchase as an Allocate Health rostering software award made through the HTE Digital Technology Solutions framework. This is a digital technology requirement for suppliers able to provide health-sector rostering software, rather than a general staffing or clinical services contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Softcat Plc. The award was made on 3 June 2026, for £780,000. The contract runs from 5 June 2026 to 4 June 2029. The estimated procurement range was £750,000 to £780,000. The Trust used a selective call-off from the HTE Digital Technology Solutions framework, rather than an open standalone competition; the tender deadline was 11 May 2026. The reported award is for the overall requirement, with no separate lot awards. The evaluation criteria are not detailed in the procurement information. The opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The award demonstrates substantial public-sector demand for health rostering software at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, procured through the HTE Digital Technology Solutions framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to supply and support a rostering product suited to healthcare operations and be positioned to deliver through the relevant framework route. The selected supplier was a large company, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating a requirement and route that favour established suppliers with the capacity to serve a hospital trust. The software focus makes relevant health-sector product capability and the ability to meet the Trust’s operational rostering needs central to competing when this requirement returns to market.
