Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured maintenance cover for its radio frequency identification (RFID) asset-tracking system, including the system, tags and licences. The system reads tags attached to medical devices and equipment, sending digital data that gives staff a real-time map of asset locations. This is an IT support service for maintaining healthcare tracking technology, rather than a purchase of medical equipment. The listed delivery location is Lincoln County Hospital in Lincoln, with a further delivery reference to the East Midlands. The requirement supports the Trust’s ongoing use of RFID to locate medical assets.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SECURITAS TECHNOLOGY LIMITED. The award was made on 25 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, covering one year with an option to extend for a further year. The stated full-duration contract value is £157,953.28. The Trust used a selective call-off from the Countess of Cheshire Hospital NHS Foundation Trust F033 framework for real-time healthcare tracking and patient-flow systems. The response deadline was 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was categorised as services, and the opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows demand for specialist support of an RFID system used to track medical devices and equipment in a hospital setting. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to maintain the tracking system and its associated tags and licences, and ensure the technology continues to provide staff with a real-time view of asset locations. Relevant experience supporting RFID-based healthcare asset tracking, including integration of hardware, software and licensing, would align closely with the scope. The work was awarded through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s comparable requirement would need access to an appropriate framework route. The buyer regarded the opportunity as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller suppliers could be credible where they can demonstrate the required technical support capability.
