Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit has completed a procurement process for the provision of a Child Health Information Service (CHIS) IT system, specifically targeting the Greater Manchester region. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from the London Procurement Partnership Clinical Digital Solutions Framework. The contract was awarded to System C Healthcare Limited, with a total contract value of £3,874,000. The project, categorised under "Industry specific software package," will span from 7th February 2024 to 30th November 2032. Key parties involved include the buying organisation, based in Bristol, United Kingdom, and the supplier, located in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for large firms, particularly those specialising in health IT solutions that can deliver complex, industry-specific software packages. Companies experienced in providing digital solutions for the healthcare sector are well-suited to compete in such framework agreements. Although small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not targeted for this contract, the scale and complexity of the project could open avenues for collaboration or subcontracting with larger entities like System C Healthcare. Businesses with a strategic interest in expanding their footprint in healthcare IT services within the Greater Manchester area could find considerable value in aligning with similar future tenders.
