Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured finance consultancy services to support testing and reviewing of its Electronic Patient Record (EPR) system. The work falls within corporate finance and venture capital services (CPV 66122000), with the practical requirement focused on finance advice and EPR-related testing and review. It is a services contract delivered in Nottingham, at the Trust’s site on Hucknall Road, and within the East Midlands. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation was Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, serving its own operational and digital healthcare requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Non-Clinical Staffing framework, RM6277, Lot 2 for Corporate Functions, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 23 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. Castlefield Recruitment Ltd was awarded the contract on 22 December 2025 for £53,551.88 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period ran from 24 November 2025 to 24 May 2026. The procurement was treated as a direct call-off award under the framework, with the requirement assessed through that compliant framework route.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust for specialist finance consultancy linked to electronic patient record delivery. Businesses best placed for a similar requirement would combine finance consultancy capability with practical experience of testing, reviewing and assuring EPR systems in a complex healthcare organisation. Relevant suppliers would also need to operate within, or secure access to, an appropriate public-sector staffing framework covering corporate functions, and be able to provide consultants who can work with NHS stakeholders and digital transformation teams. The SME suitability indicates that a smaller specialist consultancy or recruitment-led professional services provider can be credible where it can evidence the required expertise and delivery capacity.
