## Summary

The Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Ulysses Annual Licence & Support Contract," categorised under software support services. The contract pertains to the health sector and is specifically located in Poole, United Kingdom. It began on 1st May 2026 and will conclude on 30th April 2027. The procurement was carried out through a direct method without competition as it fell below the threshold. The award was officially signed on 1st April 2026, and the documentation was last published on 1st June 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses in the technology sector, particularly those specialising in software support services. While the contract for this cycle was directly awarded to Ulysses Ltd, a large entity based in Havant, similar upcoming contracts from the NHS and other public sector bodies may provide potential avenues for growth. Small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in software licensing and customer support services could be well-suited to compete in future tenders, especially if they can demonstrate unique value propositions or cost efficiencies.
