## Summary

NHS England commissioned a proof of concept for network and connectivity technology to help NHS frontline staff working in the community access NHS systems remotely. The work is telecommunications services, specifically a technology proof of concept involving HP Celerway. Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom. The requirement centres on testing whether connectivity technology can support staff who need to use NHS systems away from fixed NHS sites; it is not described as a wider rollout or a general network services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HP Inc UK Limited. NHS England used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 16 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The procurement was divided into one lot. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or selection criteria.

For suppliers preparing for comparable NHS England requirements, this award indicates demand for practical network and connectivity technology that enables community-based frontline staff to access NHS systems remotely. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant technology and the ability to deliver a focused proof of concept, including testing its suitability for NHS users working outside fixed sites. Experience translating connectivity solutions into workable access to organisational systems would be pertinent. The award establishes HP Inc UK Limited as the selected supplier for this requirement; it does not establish that any particular accreditation, scale of deployment or technical standard was required.
