NHP Health Care Planning Tool SaaS Licence

NHS England (NHSE) intends to award a 12-month Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) contract for an enterprise Healthcare Planning Tool to support Wave 1 schemes within the New Hospital Programme (NHP).

The platform will provide a secure, structured and centrally governed environment for the management of Schedule of Accommodation data, Room Data Sheets, equipment planning information and industrialisation demand data across multiple hospital developments. The solution will support the delivery of Hospital 2.0 through programme-wide standardisation, data governance, auditability, role-based access controls, interoperability with BIM and design systems, automated validation and enhanced assurance processes.

The contract will ensure continuity of an existing digital capability currently being provided through one of NHSE’s delivery partners to NHP, and will enable the contracted platform to operate under direct control of NHP from 1 October 2026. Access by NHP to the service will support ongoing planning, design development, assurance and standardisation activities across Wave 1 hospital schemes.

The scope of the contract is limited to SaaS platform licences together with standard software support, maintenance, security updates and product enhancements. Implementation, configuration, user adoption and training activities are not within the scope of the contract.
