Summary of the contracting process

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust, based in Ashford, Kent, has successfully completed the procurement process for a service titled "Pharmacy Led Health Improvement Outcome (Pharma Outcomes)." This service falls under the industry category of license management software packages (CPV code: 48218000). The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract, valued at GBP 15,606, covers the period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the tender process having concluded on 31 March 2026. The service is intended for implementation across England, with a principal focus on enabling pharmacies and commissioners to streamline healthcare services management, record-keeping, and claims via the PharmOutcomes platform.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in software and healthcare services to engage with public health trusts and enhance service delivery within the healthcare sector. It is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer specialized software solutions, although it was ultimately awarded to EMIS (Egton Medical Information Systems) Ltd, a large-scale supplier. By offering advanced management systems, such businesses can aid public health bodies like Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust in optimizing operations, thereby driving innovation and business growth within the digital health space.
