NHS Business Services Authority, in short
Who does NHS Business Services Authority award contracts to?
Across 511 contracts recorded since 2021, NHS Business Services Authority has used 246 different suppliers. The most frequent are SOFTCAT PlC (21 contracts), QA Limited (20 contracts), ORACLE Corporation UK Ltd (17 contracts).
What does NHS Business Services Authority buy?
Its most active procurement categories are IT services, education and training, software and information systems. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do NHS Business Services Authority contracts come up for renewal?
102 contracts awarded by NHS Business Services Authority have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 28 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does NHS Business Services Authority spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £65k, across the 497 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new NHS Business Services Authority tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new NHS Business Services Authority notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards rose, then stayed broadly level in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 7 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 79, 106 and 102. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- 42 contracts end in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 7 November 2026 and 7 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Has published 77 planned procurements: Pipeline notices on Find a Tender whose expected tender date is still to come, or passed in the last 30 days.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 45 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Has published 1 AI transparency record: Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard records on GOV.UK, listed further down this page.
- Most recent award: recorded 28 Oct 2026 (10 days ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 497 of 511 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
