## Summary

Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust procured a licence renewal for Diligent Boardbooks, a software package for board and committee management. The requirement covers one board site, 54 board users, five committees and 20 board administrators. The software supports the Trust’s governance and administrative activity, with delivery across England. The buying organisation is the NHS foundation trust, based at the Ash Green Learning Disability Centre in Ashgate, Derbyshire. The awarded category is goods, specifically software and information systems. This is a focused software licensing requirement rather than a wider implementation, consultancy or hardware contract, so it is most relevant to suppliers of board-management, committee-management or related governance information systems.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Diligent Boardbooks Limited. The Trust used a direct award below the threshold, without competition, and the single lot is complete. The award is active and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026. The contract runs from 16 August 2026 to 15 August 2027. Its value is £18,313 excluding VAT, or £21,976 including VAT. The award covers the Diligent Boardbooks licence renewal for one board site, 54 users, five committees and 20 administrators. The evaluation basis was therefore a direct-award route rather than a competitive assessment of competing tenders. Diligent Boardbooks Limited is the selected supplier.

This award shows a defined requirement for board and committee governance software within an NHS foundation trust, at the scale of one board site, 54 users, five committees and 20 administrators. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a mature platform that supports secure board and committee information, user administration and ongoing licence-based service delivery. Relevant experience would include supplying comparable governance software to NHS or other regulated public-sector organisations, supporting different user roles and committee structures, and maintaining reliable access for board members and administrators. Suppliers with an established product, implementation and customer-support capability would be better placed than businesses offering general document management without board-governance functionality.
