Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "ACF technologies - Queues managing software for Covid-19 Response" was conducted by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) based in London, England. The procurement, classified under the medical software package category (CPV 48180000), was initiated as a limited tender using a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The tender period concluded on 12 April 2020, while the contract commences from 13 April 2020 and lasts until 13 October 2020. The awarded value of the contract is £800,000, aimed at establishing a queuing system to aid in the management of Covid-19 testing capabilities across several delivery locations including the United Kingdom and other territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) equipped to develop or provide medical software solutions, particularly those specialising in health-related technologies. Businesses involved in software development, system integration, and IT support services will find this a suitable arena to offer their expertise. Given the focus on the Covid-19 response, firms that can demonstrate a track record in healthcare technology and compliance with regulatory standards may strengthen their competitive edge in bidding for similar future contracts.
