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 19 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.

NHSE has concluded that there are no reasonable alternatives to the services being procured. While other suppliers may offer software products operating in the same market, dRofus is the only solution that can meet the programme scale requirements essential to this national programme, enforcing Hospital 2.0 across many schemes: aggregation and impact analysis across schemes, programme-wide assurance reporting, version control and audit, open API integration, and scalable multi-scheme deployment. In addition, the supplier owns and operates the HCPT software platform, associated data model, system architecture, configuration, functionality and proprietary intellectual property upon which the capability is based. The requirement is for continued access to, and use of, that specific platform and its associated functionality rather than for a generic healthcare planning software solution. The platform contains programme-specific data structures, workflows, controlled templates, validation rules, governance controls and interoperability capabilities that have been developed and configured, by the supplier via the curre... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/nhp-health-care-planning-tool-saas-licence-ocds-h6vhtk-06ea83) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 48311100, 48613000, 48810000, 72268000 - **Delivery regions:** UKI - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (2) - **Award:** NHP Health Care Planning Tool SaaS Licence (pending) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **dRofus AS** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-PPON:PQCT-6138-HQNN` - Value: £657,720 (exc.
