Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Hospital NHS commissioned health consultancy and advisory services for its electronic patient record (EPR) requirement. The procurement is categorised as services, with the classification also pointing to software packages and information systems. Delivery is associated with Barnsley, South Yorkshire, at Barnsley Hospital. The stated purpose is consultancy and advice; the procurement does not describe specific project tasks or technical deliverables. The work is for the hospital rather than a general NHS-wide service, so relevant suppliers are those able to advise a healthcare organisation on EPR-related needs and support its information systems work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CLOUD 21 LIMITED. The award was made on 19 March 2026, with a contract period running from 19 March to 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £157,670. The tender estimate was £157,570. Barnsley Hospital NHS used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 18 March 2026 at 12:00. No lots are identified. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements, so the basis on which competing framework suppliers were assessed cannot be described from these details.

This award shows that Barnsley Hospital NHS buys specialist consultancy and advisory support for electronic patient record work through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience advising healthcare organisations on EPR systems and the ability to provide practical information-systems consultancy aligned with a hospital’s needs. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, although the tender was marked unsuitable for SMEs and for voluntary, community and social enterprises; those signals are not fully aligned, so they do not establish that smaller suppliers are excluded or preferred. The requirement is a focused consultancy assignment rather than a stated software supply or implementation contract. Suppliers should be equipped to deliver health-sector advisory work at the scale of a single hospital engagement.
