## Summary

Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust procured an integrated, cloud-based software service for managing the workforce lifecycle of clinical staff. The platform brings together electronic rostering, contracted job planning, appraisal and revalidation portfolio tracking, and deployment of temporary staff through bank and agency arrangements. The requirement is for software support services, with delivery recorded for the United Kingdom. It is aimed at suppliers able to provide a joined-up workforce management platform spanning both substantive staffing processes and temporary staffing deployment, rather than a standalone rostering or recruitment tool.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective route under a framework agreement, without a competitive call-off. LocumTap Limited, trading as Patchwork Health, was selected. The award date was 28 September 2026. The award value is £247,900 excluding VAT (£297,480 including VAT), incorporating the extension option. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2029, with an option to extend by one year, to a maximum end date of 11 October 2030. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The award is recorded as pending; the scheduled contract signature date was 9 October 2026.

For suppliers seeking to compete for this type of requirement in future, the award shows demand from Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for a single cloud-based service combining clinical e-rostering, contracted job planning, appraisal and revalidation portfolio management, and bank and agency staffing deployment. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that these functions can work together across the clinical workforce lifecycle, with software support suitable for a healthcare organisation. The successful supplier was selected through a framework route, so relevant experience of supplying this integrated platform through an appropriate framework would strengthen a supplier’s position when the requirement next comes to market. The scope points to a supplier capable of supporting both workforce planning and operational temporary staffing processes.
