## Summary

NHS England commissioned a proof of concept with Competitive Solutions Limited for network and connectivity technologies intended to help frontline NHS staff working in the community access NHS systems remotely. The requirement is a technology services project focused on testing connectivity solutions for this use. Delivery is across the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete, and the contract is active. NHS England made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. Competitive Solutions Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 13 October 2026 and runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £20,802 excluding VAT (£24,962.40 including VAT). The procurement was structured as a single lot. The published information describes the work as a proof of concept but does not set out evaluation criteria.

This award shows NHS England’s demand for practical network and connectivity technology that can support remote access to NHS systems for community-based frontline staff. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate relevant connectivity expertise and the ability to deliver a focused proof of concept in an NHS context. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a requirement of this kind can be delivered by an SME. The work is a defined technology test rather than a broad rollout, so suppliers with experience designing and carrying out targeted trials are relevant.
